Black Family Camp starts today!

Families are arriving today for our first annual Black Family Camp!

Black Family Camp serves Black and transracial families and will be led and designed primarily by Black-identifying leadership. Families will experience traditional camp activities and adventures with the intentional integration of culturally representative activities, subject matter, music, dance, art, and much more. While some specialists will be hired to offer programs, participant adults and children will be encouraged to share in leadership to fully welcome the community into the camp space.

Support our Black Family Campers Weekend!

January 4-7, 2024

In order to combat the exclusionary history of camping and to give Black families access to camping sites, this weekend is designed to support and uplift Black campers and their families with culturally competent programming. The programming will include, music, opening libation, etc. with an emphasis on Black culture and facilitated by primarily Black staffers.

Please note while this program is designed by and for Black families to create a safe and inclusive camp experience and to highlight/promote Black culture, we welcome non-Black parents and children who are part of transracial or multiracial families with Black children.

WOFORO DUA PA A
"When you climb a good tree"
Adinkra symbol of support, cooperation, and encouragement. From the expression "Woforo dua pa a, na yepia wo" means "When you climb a good tree, you are given a push." More metaphorically, it means that when you work for a good cause, you will get support.
