"A child is a rare gift given by Krishna, but at the same time a great responsibility; every parent has the responsibility to see that his child grows up Krishna-consciousness. I know that you understand this, and will always make Krishna the center of your home" - Letter from Srila Prabhupada, August 15, 1967
With this message in mind, organizers, counselors, parents and even the kids gear up for an inspirational Krsna Kidz Camp at ISKCON Detroit each year. The camp takes place twice in a year, during summer and then during the Thanksgiving holiday. For the last several years, kids ranging from age 4 to 13 have enjoyed their time off from school and taking part in the fun and educational Krsna Kidz Camp. The camp proves to children that Krishna Consciousness is fun and exciting and this keeps them coming back for more and more.
Youth retreat is a practical yet fun experience for high school to college age youth. Engage in meaningful conversations about what you find important in life, what gives you purpose and how to make it a reality. Share with others in this collaborative environment as well as a great round or golf, go carts or fowling!
From the humble beginnings of a few congregational kids getting together over the holiday for some fun and Krishna-conscious learning, the Detroit Krsna Kidz Camp has grown to become a professionally run program with over 60 kids participating in the four days of spiritual bliss. It appears that the ISKCON Detroit’s Krsna Kidz Camp has grown to become one of the largest camps in the US!! Over the last 15 years, we have had the honor of serving 100s of children and youth.
