South Asian Heritage Camp (SAHC)

Sustain the Spirit and Legacy of South Asian (formerly Indian/Nepalese) Heritage Camp

Keeping our community connected, one gathering at a time

"I love seeing the confidence in younger kids as they've become counselors, camp leaders, etc. They thrive because of the support of this camp community and the people around them who are like them. I am glad to still be a part of it as an adult." - SAHC Adult Adoptee 

For 35 years, Heritage Camps for Adoptive families has provided adoptees and families with something special: a place to connect, celebrate their heritage, build friendships, and experience the comfort of belonging. SAHC has strengthened our legacy for many years, when it was East Indian Heritage Camp, then Indian/Nepalese Heritage Camp, and now South Asian Heritage Camp. 

While the name has evolved to better reflect our entire camp community, the heart, history, and relationships that have shaped this camp remain unchanged. Our Indian and Nepali counselors and community members continue to be an important and valued part of our camp family, helping keep those cultural connections and traditions alive. We're excited to carry this community forward, welcoming families, adult adoptees, celebrating South Asian cultures, and creating opportunities for adoptees of every age to connect and belong for years to come.

A new name, the same wonderful community—and the same important need for your support!

A few vital reasons your gift will have an impact this year. 

• A lifelong journey deserves lifelong community. Adoption doesn't end at childhood, and neither should the opportunities to connect, explore identity, and find belonging.. Your support helps ensure HCAF is here for adoptees of every age and those who love them for years to come.
• Make camp accessible. Financial assistance helps more families participate, regardless of financial circumstances.
• Adapt for the future. As adoption trends and camp populations change, we're finding new ways to evolve our programming, respond to changing needs, and ensure HCAF's communities remain strong and vibrant for years to come.
