La Semana Culture Camp

As some of you readers know, we are an adoptive family. Our kids were born in Guatemala and we adopted them when they were 10 and 13 months old. One of the things we do to maintain a connection with their Latin American heritage is to attend La Semana Culture Camp each year. This day camp is for kids adopted from Latin America and their families. This year there were approximately 450 kids there between the ages of preschool through high school. Over 150 of those kids were from Guatemala. We are so fortunate to have La Semana a local event for us - it takes place at a Catholic Church about 50 minutes from our house. We usually come home the first two nights and then stay in a hotel the next two nights. It gets tiring to drive home every night, and the kids have a blast staying at the hotel.
