TAYL: Taiwanese American Youth Leadership Camp

in La Honda, San Francisco, CA

Who are we? Toby/Tyler/Troy Ate Yellow Lizards? Testosterone Addicted Young Ladies? Mmmm, close. We are THE Taiwanese American Youth Leadership Camp. Four days and three nights of laughing, bonding, learning and most of all, delving into what it means to be a Taiwanese American kid! Campers ranging from 6th to 12th grades participate in activities that are geared toward self-learning and growing up through the guidance of their peers and their knowledgeable counselors. Friends are made for life through experiences like combining our talents to perform an entertaining skit or gathering a competitive spirit for relay races! The goal of TAYL is to leave with a positive experience, a lot of learning, and a good time.

The 23rd Annual Taiwanese American Youth Leadership Camp is June 17-20, 2005 at YMCA Jones Gulch Conference Center.

that sounds really neat...
i know they have similar summer cultural camps
for korean adoptees that i never even heard
about until my adult years...
as a kid, i wouldnt have been interested in it...
but as an adult, my view has changed
tho when it comes to my interest in culture...

didnt know there were such summer cultural camps...
for non adoptee asians as well...
other than perhaps the taiwan love boat thingy...

neat to read how this will be their 23rd annual event...
