WELCOME TO KCCM 2012

Notice that we have a new name! We are now the Korean Culture Camp of Michigan.

The Korean Culture Camp of Michigan is a non-profit summer day camp that focuses on teaching Korean heritage to all children with an interest in Korean culture (Korean adoptees, siblings and second generation Korean American children).  KCC allows kids to meet other children with similar experiences and to make new friends.

This year the camp was held from June 25-29, 2012 at MacDonald Middle School in East Lansing, Michigan (1601 Burcham Dr., East Lansing, MI 48823). The camp runs from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and ends after Closing Ceremonies at noon on Friday.

The camp is open to children age three through high school. Children participate in many activities such as crafts, music, Korean language, taekwondo and art. A Korean lunch is provided to the campers Monday through Thursday.

Korean-American college students act as counselors for each class. Each preschooler must have a parent acting as a classroom volunteer in the same preschool classroom.

We will also have specific class times set up for your children to get meaningful hands-on experience with Korean cultural activities (for example, games, history lessons, songs and the Korean alphabet called Hangul).

DRUM INFORMATION

Here is the information on acquiring the Korean drums.

"There are many sizes of drums. For jangus, I recommend a 1.5 or 1.6. There are smaller sizes for the little ones, but they may soon outgrow them. (However, I would be interested in purchasing smaller drums to use at the camp for future years.

For buks, I recommend a size 2 or 3 depending on how big the student is. These are medium sized drums. The 3 is larger than the 2. On the website, buks are found in the "samulnori drums" category, while jangus are listed in a separate category."

It would be best to call rather than order through the web because Bill is very knowledgeable on these drums and makes good recommendations if you have questions on size and quality. He has agreed to give KCC campers a discount of at least 5% (depends on which drum you purchase) and is adding extra mallets for free.
