台美協進會 家庭、青少年夏令營
Taiwanese American Foundation Summer Camp
For over 30 years, the Taiwanese American Foundation has been proud to host the largest and longest-running summer camp for children and teens of Taiwanese descent in the US and Canada. Every summer over 250 campers get together at TAF’s flagship event for a fun-filled week of learning about themselves and their Taiwanese heritage.
PROGRAMS
Upon arrival campers are divided into small groups within their program. Small groups form the basis for helping campers to develop relationships, thus fostering personal reflection and a sharing of perspectives.
Led by two counselors, also known as Advisors, the small group is each camper’s family away from home. Together, each small group participates in daily discussions, attends workshops, and has fun playing games together. The small group structure provides a safe environment for campers to converse, dissect and explore speaker session topics, and develop lifelong friendships.
Each year, TAF invites three keynote speakers, one for the Juniors Program, one for Junior High, and one for Youth. Camp speakers come from all across the US and support the conference theme by sharing their expertise in a way that resonates with the appropriate age group.
Because they play such an integral role during the week’s programming, all speakers must have a passion for developing youth. Workshops and activities outside of these sessions complement each speaker’s message to the campers throughout the week.
The TAF Summer Conference is divided into five distinct programs.
