<\/a>The camp, held during the Block 6 break in Loomis Lounge, was attended by 15-20 children ages 3-10.<\/p>\n
In the past, KASA has held a Korean culture night with dancing, food, and <\/a>music, but this year the group wanted to tackle something different. \u201cWe wanted to do something that would last,\u201d said YaeEun Grace Hahm \u201911<\/strong>, a biochemistry and music major.<\/p>\n The event was organized by Hahm, who co-chairs KASA with Mina Chung \u201913<\/strong>, and Alexandria Song \u201912<\/strong>, secretary of the group. Six additional KASA members helped with the camp.<\/p>\n The day featured games, songs, food, story-telling, and crafts. The adopted children\u2019s American families also attended, so they, too, could learn about Korean culture. \u201cIt was a good community outreach project,\u201d said Hahm, who is from Korea originally but moved to Boulder with her family when she was 9.<\/p>\n The goal was to teach the adoptees about their Korean heritage because many of their American parents were not equipped with that knowledge. KASA members taught parents about Korean cuisine and how to prepare simple dishes, and gave parents recipes and samples. The children were taught simple Korean phrases, songs, and games.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted the Korean adoptees to know that we do care, and that they have a lot of support from everyone,\u201d Hahm said. Although she is a senior, Hahm said she is hopeful that the camp will continue. \u201cWe got a lot of ideas for other things we want to do next time,\u201d she said. \u201cThe first time is the most difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Members of CC\u2019s Korean American Student Union (KASA) recently held a day-long Korean Culture Camp for Korean children in Colorado Springs adopted by American families.
