The camp combines the discipline of yoga and the fun of camp. The program allows children to understand the principles of vegetarianism, respect for all religions, develop a love and respect for nature. Children are able to identify with the inner self within a group setting by practicing yoga. Yoga asana, meditation, breathing, relaxation, swimming, games, chanting and lectures are some of the daily activities.
There is plenty of time for swimming, fun and games, all with the same goal of fostering the qualities of co-operation, respect and friendship. Special activities outside the Yoga Camp include canoeing, hiking, overnight camping and vegetarian cookouts.
Established in 1972 by Swami Vishnu-devananda, the month-long program for children aged 7-16, combines activities of outdoor adventure, creativity, discovery, and co-operation.
