Domestic Adoption Camp

Sustain the Spirit of Domestic Adoption Camp
Keep Camp Within Reach for Every Family

"DAC is a fabulous camp! I loved all the logistical organization and thought that went into creating a wonderful camp experience. I gained some important information to support us as an adoptive family, and we made some great personal connections." -DAC Parent

Throughout the years, we have been privileged to witness numerous touching tales of change and unity. Families have opened up about their paths to development, empathy, and the enduring influence of Camp. The sustainability of HCAF is dependent on the kindness and support of individuals like yourself.

At Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families, we keep camp fees affordable—covering just 45% of the true cost—because no family should be priced out of this life-changing experience. The remaining 55% is achieved by generous donors like you, ensuring every adoptee and family can enjoy the connection, culture, and community that make HCAF meaningful, authentic, and lasting.

This year, we’ve increased each camp’s fundraising goal by just half of that 45%—a small, achievable step that goes a long way in sustaining these experiences while keeping them accessible to all families. Every gift helps us continue the traditions, friendships, and memories that campers and families treasure year after year.

Organization Summary

We are proud to be one of the few organizations nationwide still offering immersive experiences for adoptees of all ages—from toddlers to adults—and those who love them. For 34 years, we’ve persevered despite challenges like declining international adoptions and rising costs, staying committed to providing a camp experience that fosters a true sense of belonging for every camper.
