Weekend Registration Form Now Online!

Thank you to all of our camp families and volunteers for making this year's Vietnam Heritage Weekend another huge success!  We were privileged to serve 52 campers and their families.

 

Weekend Overview

Families who have adopted children from Vietnam will have the opportunity to get together in Tulsa, OK, for a weekend of fun and cultural activities for both parents and children.  Dillon's Vietnam Heritage Weekend is open to ALL adoptive families (regardless of agency used for adoption placement) who have adopted from Vietnam.

Parent Workshop Registration

SPECIAL NOTE:  The parent workshop fee is already included in the weekend registration fee for Vietnam adoptive families who have registered to attend all of the weekend's activities.

Volunteering Your Time
Heritage camps and weekends could not happen without the sacrificial efforts of countless volunteers.  Volunteers are used in every capacity at Vietnam Heritage Weekend and we applaud you for taking part this year!   

Adult volunteers - If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer application and background check.  We will send you a confirmation once we have received your volunteer application.Volunteer Application 

Prior to the beginning of Vietnam Heritage Weekend, we will send you a schedule of your volunteer hours and assignments.

Other Ways to Help

Open Your Home -- If you have an extra bedroom that you would be willing to offer to an out-of-town camp family as a place to stay in lieu of a hotel, please let us know.  Saving hotel fees could make all the difference in whether an out-of-town family is able to attend camp this year and have a chance to give their child(ren) the "heritage camp experience."

Donate to the Camp Scholarship Fund --  We also accept donations to provide scholarships to children to be able to attend camp, who otherwise would be unable to participate, and/or "family grants" to assist traveling families with their motel fees so that they may attend camp.

For more information on how your family can help a fellow camp family and share the camp experience together, email Rosalyn or call 918.749.4600.

Also, if you know of a family who needs help to attend, please let us know.
