Stories & Testimonials
"Ever since 2009, Camp Conifer has been the one thing I looked forward to most every summer! Over the years, I’ve made countless memories that my friends and I still talk and laugh-till-we-cry with to this day. This camp has always provided me with a safe space to explore my Korean American identity, build on new and old friendships, and just have fun!"
- Kayla Kim
(Former Camp Director)
"Camp is impossible to explain or describe, but it is undoubtedly the best thing I have ever been a part of. I've met lifelong friends at Camp Conifer whom I consider family, and it's my greatest hope that other Korean American kids will have the chance to grow up spending summers at the same camp that showed me so much joy and friendship in my youth.”
- Julia Kim
(Counselor & Former Camper)
