I guess the first thing that came to my mind was that we sort of live, eat, breath and sleep adoption all the time (or whatever else our daily realities might be). Wouldn't it be fun just to go to camp as an individual and not an individual who's adopted? Or as an individual with disabilities or as an individual with green eyes...etc. You get the idea---to just go away and be whoever you want to be. Then again, there are three months in a summer vacation so there's more than enough room for all of these experiences.

Just wanted to say I concur! My boys go to hockey camp, and church camp and hang out with their friends - all things that have nothing to do with their race, or their adoptive status but have to do with being a fun kid
.
Our family camp though has really brought A TON of positives into all our lives and I cant imagine not ever having had it!
