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!”

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:
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 are excited for our first Vietnam Culture Camp in Ho Chi Minh City!
With more than two decades of experience in Vietnam tourism, our team is committed to delivering the best services.
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.
