Tracey, We are fortunate to live in a diverse and art driven community where our kids can see/learn African drumming anyday, djembe, djundjun, see afro Modern dance and for that matter watch tabla masters, learn Capoeira and eat excellent food from almost any country. We have a large local group of transracial adoptive parents with support and facilitation by the University social work department. That aside, I agree with Jen and would absolutely consider and make an effort, great or small, to attend a heritage summer camp with my kids.

I think that there is something great about understanding without words, because the kids have a similar experience or one element of it, just like kids who attend sunshine camp (having lost a loved one) or kids who have experienced cancer. It is just another way to provide them an experience that they can then decide to continue or not.
