About the Junior Program...
Program Directors: Liz Wang, Cindy Lee

The TAF Juniors are the youngest campers here in age, and the most valuable assets, for they represent our Taiwanese community's hopes and dreams. In every sense of the word, they are the Foundation from which our proud community has flourished and the source of our current and future leaders. Our theme this year is identity, where we will encourage our children to explore how their culture and experiences shape how they see themselves, who they are, and who they want to be.


We believe in the potential of every child and we see that it is our job to bring out that potential to light. We hope to empower our campers to explore the uniqueness of their identities, to recognize their ability to affect change, and to value the gifts that they possess. We do this through intentional involvement with the kids—whether it's through small group discussions, workshops, bedtime stories, or free time, we train our counselors to be pro-active in caring for the development of every camper that walks through our door. How the juniors program differs from the others is that it takes on a different form of interpersonal relationship with the campers. Our staff is trained to not just listen to the words that children are saying, but to understand the story behind their words. Along with their counselors and peers, juniors are able to communicate their thoughts, explore their significance, acknowledge their uniqueness, and express their individual and communal identity.

Most of all, TAF Juniors is a place to be yourself and to know that being a Taiwanese-American kid rocks!
