What Happens In Chinmaya Summer Camp?
Last year's camp topic was Child Devotees of Bharatavarsha
Child devotees like Prahalada, Meera, Nachiketa, etc are a source of inspiration for our children. The camp children learnt stories about them and their symbolism from our Swamijis and trained teachers in a very engaging, discussion-oriented way.
Chanting and Bhajans
The children will learn to chant stotram and sing bhajans. It is a joy for them to sing and chant along with their friends. The chanting helps with memory and concentration.
Field Trip to a Fun Chicagoland destination
The camp children will go on a special field trip. Last year’s trip was to the Morton Arboretum. Parent chaperones welcome.
