We are excited to release the applications for Jacksonville Hindu Day Camp 2024! Children ages 7 and up are welcome to join. Posted below are the sessions for this year's camp:
First Session: June 3rd - 7th and June 10th - 14th, 2024
Third Session June 17th-21st and June 24th - 28th, 2024
Second Session: July 8th - 12th and July 15th – 19th, 2024
Typically the camp is run on a day-to-day basis. In the first half of the day, we focus on the more traditional aspects of Hinduism, implemented through our morning puja, Sanskrit classes, and philosophy lessons.
Every year we choose a theme, and this year, our theme will be the Panchatantra’s. This theme will be incorporated throughout the camp, but will mostly be implemented through the philosophy lessons, as we will instill core Hindu values through stories surrounding the theme. Other activities such as Clubs and our special activities enrich Hindu values within the campers in an interactive fashion as well. The Club that a camper participates in will be decided on the answers given in the application; each camper has a choice of Arts and Crafts, Dance, or Drama, and our older campers (grades 9th and 10th) will be in C.I.T, or counselor in training.
The special activity of the day is different per day and aims to focus on a certain Hindu holiday/celebration (Holi, Diwali, Raakhi) or a day related to the theme (Rangoli, India Day).
Here are the links to a digital Google form (the ONLY way to apply for a camper spot) for the Camper Application and a downloadable PDF for the Counselor Application. If you have any questions about the camper application, you can email us at [email protected]
