For parents with children between 3 and 11 years old, please attend at least one Parent Karma Yoga Meeting.

A morning activity is scheduled at this time. Please sign your children in and then come to the meeting. The meeting will take place in Parent Karma Yoga Shelter in the children’s area.

SYC Parent Meetings are an opportunity to:

• Join in the community of parenthood and connect with other parents
• Practice the All Camp meditation
• Ask any questions you might have about the program
• Learn about your responsibilities as guides on the day you serve and other directives and information that will support your children’s experience at the event

Parent’s Karma Yoga:

• All parents of children 3-11 years old, whether you have one or several children, serve one day at SYC.
• You know your child best so if you feel that they will be under extreme stress, this should be considered in your choice of which group you work with.
• Parents are expected to have cell phone numbers on their registration form (this will be on the child’s badge) so we can contact you if necessary.
• We find that sometimes children refuse to drink enough water; in this environment hydration is a must and children can become very emotional if they have not had enough to drink. Please make sure they are hydrated prior to coming to the co-op, and encourage them to drink throughout the day. If your child appears to be suffering from dehydration and refuses to drink, you will be contacted.
• We have had parents in the past who have not shown up for their Karma Yoga day. This puts extra stress on the parents that do come, and on the children. Please be sure to participate and enjoy the day.
• If you have any questions or concerns regarding your participation please contact Customer Service.

Sukh Nivas: For pregnant mothers and parents with babies, there is an air-conditioned area which provides a nurturing environment for parents and their children.

Hospitality: There is a Hospitality area at Solstice. If you’re new to Solstice, go to the Hospitality area for more information and any assistance you need. Same goes if you’re not new to Solstice!

Pool: There is an above ground pool at Ram Das Puri. It will be open during camp days for parents to enjoy with their children. The pool will be staffed with a certified lifeguard. Please check program schedule for pool opening times.

You are welcome to bring your children to the pool, but you must stay with them if they are under the age of 12.

Anyone found in the pool during unscheduled hours risks losing pool privileges for the remainder of the event. Repeated violations will result in the loss of your event pass without refund.

First Aid: There is a First Aid trailer on site. The First Aid trailer has items such as band-aids, sunscreen and eyedrops. There are also nurses and two New Mexico-licensed doctors on duty/on-call at all times. For situations that require serious medical attention, First Aid will help you get to the nearest hospital, which is 30-minutes by car.

In addition to the camp breakfast and dinner meals, special consideration is provided to children, teens, babies, and nursing mothers for delicious vegetarian snacks and special lunches during the Solstice Youth Camp program. Menus change daily and include options for children with allergies to wheat, soy, and dairy.
