About Hip Wah:

Founded in 1984, Hip Wah Summer Program serves entering 1st through 7th graders of diverse ethnicities for four weeks each summer. Their day at camp is filled with fun activities where they experience Chinese culture, traditions, music, language, arts and crafts. They are supported by dedicated teachers and camp aides who help build a sense of community. The program culminates in a music festival where everyone participates with choral and instrumental music, dance, and martial arts. While Hip Wah's focus is on Chinese and Chinese-American culture, campers do not have to be Chinese to attend. For many, Hip Wah is an opportunity to discover their identity through community, friendship, culture, and fun. Hip Wah is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
