Featured Family Story...
As an adult Korean adoptee, I realize that Camp Mujigae was an integral part of my life growing up. Being able to embrace my Korean heritage and have unspoken bonds with other adoptees is something that I'll never forget. Camp was the one time of year that we got together and felt like (and were) the majority and not minorities. The shared experiences had brought everyone together.  The camaraderie and friendship was truly something special. 
Now that I'm a parent, it is important to me to share my Korean heritage and to maintain the rich traditions with my family. I'm grateful to my parents for giving me the opportunity to learn about Korea and hope that my daughters create lasting memories of their own."
 - Peter Del Monico (past Co-Director, SIWA coordinator, counselor, camper)

Host Family Application​

Picture
The cultural exchange does not have to stop at camp! Expand your Camp MJG 2020 experience by sharing your everyday family life with the SIWA students.

Out of town families can also turn Camp into a vacation! You can host SIWA students by renting a local home for the week on Airbnb. Tour the area with SIWA and share the experience of vacationing in America! 

The students are just as interested about American culture as we are of Korean culture! Continue the fun and make lasting memories for your family! 

"We hosted when our kids were younger and as empty nesters. The experience is wonderful! Don't give it a second thought!" - Joanne Oldi Capone

"We hosted numerous times (& will again this year). When we went to Korea, one of our students spent a day and was a tour guide for us. My kids still keep in touch with many of the students through social media." - Susan Condon Googins
​Camp Mujigae is a camp that provides Korean-American children and families the opportunity to celebrate their Korean heritage, promote positive self identity, and connect with other families. We welcome ALL to camp - Korean adoptees, children of adoptees, parents and siblings of adoptees, families with Korean heritage, and those simply interested in learning more about Korean culture. 

Camp Mujigae is a volunteer-run organization comprised of dedicated parents, adoptees, and friends of the adoption community. Camp Mujigae is a not-for-profit corporation with tax exempt status.  ​
