Khalsa Youth Camp
Ram Das Puri, Española, New Mexico
June 30 – July 12, 2008
About Khalsa Youth Camp KYC is founded on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan - to share his vision of "Building Leaders of Tomorrow", in a healthy, happy, and sacred outdoor camp environment in the beautiful northern New Mexico mountains bordered by Bureau of Land Management Forests and ancient Native American land. The outdoor setting and camping in tents and cabins, a terrific vegetarian menu, loads of fun activities including Outdoor Skills, daily Sikh Dharma & Gurdwara, Meditation classes, Field trips, Community Service & Seva, and Arts & Crafts, are highlights in the experience of Sangat at KYC.
Khalsa Youth Camp is an outstanding 2 week program that emphasizes practical achievement and the early development of leadership skills serving children ages 4 through 12. Since 1979, KYC has helped children build their confidence, strength and spiritual identity.
“We need leaders for the Aquarian Age. This camp builds leaders.” ~Yogi Bhajan
