About CFC
This CFC is the longest-lasting Chinese
Family Camp. Originally, five families � the
Yuans, Woos, Yens, iangs, and Lees �
started the CFC in a house owned by a
church in Sharon, Massachusetts, around 50
years ago over Labor Day weekend. The
CFC has used the Lincoln Hill Camp facilities
Foxboro once. This year's CFC was held at
Camp Greylock in the Berkshires in August.Through the years, some elders have
gone,
kids have grown up and gone to college, and
some people have moved away.
Nevertheless, CFC has grown to be attended
by about 150 people annually, young and old
from multiple generations, who now come not
only from Greater Boston and Massachusetts,
but also from Canada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and
Connecticut.
The CFC always rents a campgroundfor the ninth week of summer, retaining
the campground’s sports and activity staff, kitchen
crew, security personnel, and health facility.
They never pitch a tent, but have individual cabins that are not Hilton four-stars,
but have heat and hot water � that is pretty good.
About 25 to 40 families take turns to cook
fantastic Chinese meals and a 10 o’clock
snack. The days are filled with all kinds of
activities, such as arts and crafts, ball games,
hiking, water sports, swimming, fishing,
boating, movies, dancing, Karaoke, archery,
horseback riding, golf, seminars, cultural
events, and Tanglewood concerts � you name
it, they have it as long as someone wants to be
in charge. On Saturday night, there is always
a talent show, an award ceremony, and a vote
to select the following year’s committee. Read Beatrice
