What is the mission of Chinese Family Camp?
– The Midwest Chinese Family Camp unites a multi-generational community of extended Chinese American families for a week of fun and recreation in a modern lakeside resort setting. We socialize, celebrate our culture and heritage, and learn from each other about being Chinese in America. Since 1958, our annual gatherings continually create and sustain deep and lifelong friendships that are truly priceless. Chinese Family Camp welcomes all families who would like to mix their interest in Chinese culture with the fun and recreation of a week-long “camp” set in the somewhat unrustic environment of an Indiana resort hotel. From the early years when Oakwood Park still had primitive cabins through today, the goal of Camp has been to foster a positive image and understanding of the special circumstances of Chinese families – grandparents, parents, and children, blended families, adoptive families – living in or having connections to the American Midwest.
