Frequently Asked Question
-
The grade that your child will be in September 2026, is what we will recognize.
-
That’s completely fine! In fact, we anticipate many of our campers to be in a similar situation. Our teachers are fully bilingual with extensive experience teaching Korean at all levels.
-
No. We welcome everyone and believe anyone can become a person of Korean heritage.
-
All transportation from and to Fraser Place Central Seoul will be provided for campers and is included in the camp fees. If you are staying anywhere else, you must arrive at Fraser Place Central Seoul before the shuttle departs and arrives.
-
We will post the menu well in advance. Most lunches will be Korean. Snacks will be more diverse.
-
All programs we design will be age-appropriate. We have three levels for most activities.
-
We designed our camp program for two weeks, but those with conflicting schedules can sign up for 1 week.
-
We can certainly allocate an evening for this.
-
The Korean medical system is excellent. If a camper gets sick during camp activities, camp staff will take the camper to a local clinic for minor cases and the nearest hospital for more serious cases. Since the camp is in Seoul, medical care is no further than 15 minutes away.
-
You are referring to the shirts that our campers wore in Hawaii. We divide the kids into different clans (like houses at Hogwarts School). Marine animals - Sea Turtles, Dolphins, and the Manta Rays - were our inspiration for the three competing Hawaiian clans. You’ll have to join us in Korea to see what creatures inspired us to represent the Korean clans!
-
You may pack snacks only if your child has specific dietary needs. Otherwise, please refrain from sending snacks. For residential campers, snacks can sometimes increase feelings of homesickness.
-
All campers will take a language assessment upon arrival. Based on their results, staff will use Korean as much as possible with children who can comfortably communicate at that level. However, forcing full Korean use before a child is ready can lead to frustration and loss of confidence.
We evaluate each child individually—especially for residential campers, where we can provide closer guidance.
Language proficiency develops over many years. Our primary goal is to spark genuine interest and motivation so children return home eager to continue learning. While we will do our utmost to encourage growth, it’s not realistic to expect a major jump in fluency within a two- or three-week camp. Full immersion is only possible when surrounded by peers of similar proficiency in an all-Korean environment.
-
Yes, you may. Note that we will not release your child to anyone other than those you specify as Guardians in Korea. We will require a photo ID and video confirmation from the parents prior to release.
-
Yes, we are currently planning this. There are two possible locations based on our 2025 experience - Los Angeles and New York City. All campers being chaperoned can only take designated flights out of LAX or JFK, details for which will be released soon. There will be an additional fee for the chaperone service.
-
Yes, but please note that weekend trips are not included for residential one-week campers. Any one-week camper interested must sign up separately and pay the extra amount.
-
Yes, there are two beds per dorm room.
-
MoMo has a no phone policy. Campers will have opportunity to Zoom with parents on Sundays.
-
Most children will experience homesickness. According to a study conducted by the American Camp Association, 10 to 20% of campers will experience moderate to severe homesickness, which may require staff intervention. Only around 5% suffer from homesickness, which may require parental intervention. MoMo Camp has a gradual escalation procedure that prioritizes the emotional health of our campers at all times.
