High school is probably one of the most difficult times for kids as they embark on the journey into adulthood. In a time of increased independence and trying to find a sense of self, identity and self-concept are crucial.

The high school staff comprises of older, post-college young adults, who can help campers navigate a complex and confusing period of their lives. They are here to create a safe and engaging environment to talk about personal experiences and facilitate discussions to build a sense of belonging. Our safe space policy guarantees respect, tolerance, confidentiality, and most of all, undivided attention.

The typical day for a HS TANGer consists of small group bonding, learning about Taiwanese culture, and attending workshops. Through games and activities in a small group setting, the high school students will get to know one another and hopefully foster lasting friendships. On the Taiwan-front, campers might cook Taiwanese food or learn about Taiwan history to develop a sense of connection with their Taiwanese roots.

​

High school students will also attend a speaker session with a special guest that the staff has personally chosen. Topics range from Asian/Taiwanese American identity to leadership, community, and empowerment.  In addition, campers will have a chance to participate in inter-programming with the junior high kids and/or the older young adults group. To close out the evening and an almost always-exhausting day, there is Taiwan Night practice.
