Culture Camp

Catalyst Foundation’s Culture Camp is open to everyone – Vietnamese adoptees, their friends and family, and Alumni Counselors & Volunteers – to come celebrate our connections and share Vietnamese heritage and culture.

Since 2001, the Vietnam Culture Camp has reached:

2,949 families from 37 different states and three countries
4,177 children
1,368 counselors

In July 2022, we had our 20th and final multi-day Catalyst Foundation Vietnam Culture Camp in the U.S. In 2023, we started the next chapter of special Culture Camp one-day events nationwide (Caroline in the City and New Vietnam Conference). And in 2025 we held the first Vietnam Culture Camp in Ho Chi Minh City!

Caroline in the City

Caroline in the City is a special event for the Catalyst Community to meet, share, and discuss hot topics.

It is open to everyone. It has been designed specifically for Vietnamese adoptees, their families and friends, and Alumni Counselors.

Future dates will include different activities including a Vietnamese food tour, speakers and other activities.

Stay tuned for the announcement of our next one…soon!

New Vietnam Conference

A conference bringing together artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, storytellers, community leaders, and authors. A tapestry of speakers and participants who share a passion for Vietnam and the pride of being Vietnamese. A conference to inspire connections and celebrate our culture, history and future.

Thank you to our 2023 amazing speakers and presenters who inspire us everyday: Wendy Lieu Hassan, Isabelle Du, Kim Hung Do,Trần Văn Kirk, Hanna Bogue, Ly Ky Tran, Jennifer Kim-Anh Tran, Can Truong, and all of our participants!

Stay tuned for the announcement of our next one…soon!

Our mission is to support communities in rural Vietnam to prevent human trafficking.

For the safety, dignity and well-being of our community, we do not allow members of the public to randomly “visit” our community; however, we will be happy to arrange a meeting or phone call with you and our Founder and Executive Director to discuss our programs and work. Our “project sites” are the homes and schools of those we serve, not tourist attractions.

Culture Camp

Culture Camp has enriched us beyond measure. The feeling of belonging, making connections, learning things that we never would be exposed to, having a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture, and being a part of this community has been life changing and we are beyond grateful!
