Our three day camp teaches kids the practices of Krishna Consciousness by engaging them in play, cooking, hiking, and music. Qualified members of our community teach the kids songs, traditional instruments, stories, and more. Some families camp out in tents overnight, while others come only during the daytime. The more kids attend the merrier. If you are interested in participating, please consider bringing your child to our kid’s classes every other week. For more information please call us.
