Children are not vessels to be filled, but lamps to be lit. The seed of spiritual values should be sown in young hearts …..

Bala Vihar Camps

Chinmaya Mission residential and non-residential spiritual camps for children during weekends and school holidays are a favourite. The camps which vary in duration from two days to three weeks are framed around entertaining, thought-provoking themes and subjects. They offer a very special time for living in a spiritually rich, fun focused, action-oriented setting ideal for making friends and developing positive qualities.

Fostering teamwork, friendship and leadership, the camps are highly interactive and specifically fashioned for specific age groups. A camp schedule typically includes Vedanta classes, Sanskrit chanting, meditation, yoga, group discussions, creative workshops, bhajans (devotional songs), sports and recreation (treks, movies, talent shows, skits).
