Time flies. Twenty years have passed in a flash
, the Association of Chinese Americans has maintained a summer camp themed with Chinese culture, from the beginning of small camps with only twenty people to large camps that affect thousands of Chinese young adults between the ages of four and fifteen. Diligently working hard, our aim is to provide an opportunity for our young adults to interact with those from different ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds and deepen the understanding of Chinese culture. Through a variety of learning activities, we can also improve the influence of Chinese culture. Our diligent work has been rewarded with fruitful results, many of past year’s students have now grown into counselors and teachers, nurturing the summer camp with their own abilities and experiences, learning and growing with the new students together. April showers bring May flowers. Traditional Chinese virtues are well carried forward here.
时光飞逝，一晃进入第二十个春秋，青少年文化夏令营从开始的一二十人，已发展到现今约数千4到15岁华裔青少年参与的大型中华文化夏令营。丰富的中国文化艺术，深厚的华夏民族内涵，不仅陶冶着孩子们的情操，传播了中华文化，提高华人在社区的影响力，更为孩子们提供了锻炼和展现他们才能和创造力的机会，提供了一个培养团队精神，领导才能，传承互帮互相爱的美华大家庭精神的优秀平台。勤恳耕耘换来丰硕成果，许多当年的小营员，已成长为今日担当重任的辅导员和老师，一代代的传承，成为夏令营的特色，饮水思源，感恩回报的中华传统美德成为夏令营的标志品格。
