LID Camp is a 4-day, 3-night youth summer camp designed to provide a safe environment for youth to grow, develop their identity, and learn about Taiwanese culture. LID is one of three youth camps under the Taiwanese American Citizens League.
We are located in the Southern California region, with our general pickup location in the Greater Los Angeles Area. The camp location changes every year and will always be announced on the website and social media!

Nope! We accept campers from all backgrounds with an interest in learning more about Taiwanese culture.
Nope! The primary language is English with some emphasis on learning Mandarin and Taiwanese phrases.
Campers are separated into small groups of around 8-11 campers based on age.
Group requests can be noted on the camper’s registration form but will not be guaranteed. Each group is assigned based on age and our priority is to foster new friendships.
Campers will sleep in cabins with bunk beds. Cabins are divided by age and gender.

Unfortunately, we do not allow visits from families during the week because it interrupts your child’s adjustment to their small groups and their full experience at LID Camp.
When you register your child for LID Camp, a camper welcome packet will be mailed to you detailing a list of items and clothing your child is recommended to bring. These generally are enough clothing to last 5 days and 4 nights, a jacket for nights, comfortable closed toe shoes, toiletries and shower supplies, and anything else your child will need to stay comfortable during their time at camp.
Our campsite provides three balanced meals daily, including vegetarian options. Please list all dietary restrictions on your child’s registration form.
We always have a health professional on-site to keep our campers safe. Details like health hazards and allergies are constantly monitored. Families will be given the phone number to the landline in case of emergency.
