Camp Naru

Camp Naru provides a fun, safe, and immersive learning experience for Korean American youth to strengthen understanding and appreciation of their cultural identity, build lifelong friendships in community, and grow in confidence and self-esteem. Our mission is to equip our youth and future generations with an ability to navigate life as individuals and members of the Korean American community with a sense of belonging and rich cultural heritage. We envision a world where kids and youth feel safe and celebrated for who they are with their distinct cultural and personal identity as they integrate and engage with other cultures. As children and youth from Korean-American, Korean adoptive, and multiethnic families grow up in the United States, they may not be fully aware or accepting of their Korean identity and cultural background. Camp Naru fosters a fun environment for such kids and young adults to embrace their Korean identity and heritage as they become friends and build community together.
