Dear Parents,
The LOTUS VOICE ISKCON Summer Camps are being conducted from last fourteen years, for the age group of 6-13 years.They are hosted in different areas of Pune and trained teachers facilitate the camps every year.
These camps are designed to teach the children the basics of general etiquette and behavior through games, enacting, activities, videos, craft work and so on. So children learn through experiential learning. The themes are general qualities, and the camps are aimed at helping the children appreciate these qualities and practically experience the benefits of adopting such qualities. Some topics covered in the last summer camp are qualities like humility, tolerance, determination, respect, obedience, truthfulness, cleanliness etc.
The teachings in these camps are effective yet practical. The theme for LOTUS VOICE ISKCON summer camp 2012 was “ THE HONEYCOLLECTORS CAMP”. A bee always takes the honey even out of a lotus growing in the mud whereas a crow always gets attracted to garbage. In the same way the kids were taught to take the best out of any situation through the example of a bee and a crow. The kids had an amazing time learning values like honesty, truthfulness, cleanliness, surrender, friendship through various interactive games, skits and group discussions. They also got to know about our real heroes like Arjun and his devotion to Krishna, Yudhisthira and his goodness through stories and various art and craft activities. Kids were taught about teamwork and doing your best through the story of Lord Rama and the squirrel while building the bridge to lanka. The theme for this year was reinforced through various fun games like word power, emotional faces game. Kids also enjoyed the delicious lunch prasadam everyday. The summer camp added to the kids confidence as they recited various prayers, songs, shlokas and performed fantastic dramas on stage in front of their parents .The parents also got to attend a seminar on the art of parenting as part of the summer camp. The aim of these camps is to get our children to develop these qualities such that it becomes their nature.
