Sanskriti Summer Camp will include activities such as yoga, dance, music, cooking, desi sports etc. There are daily workshops based on weekly themes. This years weekly themes are TBD but themes from previous years were Indian landscapes & wild life, Indian architecture & monuments, Famous Indian personalities, life in Indian cities verses villages, festivals and such.

In music, the camper's learn a fun Hindi song each week which is performed for parents on Friday evening. Similarly in dance, a Bollywood song dance is choreographed by a Sanskriti volunteer and performed by the kids on Friday. Note: Music and Bollywood dance will be offered only if we get volunteers.

Additionally the campers enjoy S.T.E.M. activities, arts & crafts and Desi sports like kabbaddi, kho-kho, cricket, badminton etc.  We even had a professional table tennis player who represented India in common-wealth games stop by to impress the kids one year.  In cooking session, a vegetarian kid-friendly, nut free yet healthy item is cooked with the help of kids. This is a lot of fun for them. Again, we need volunteers for sports & cooking session each day.

We accept limited number of kids each year since we want to give individual attention to our campers. NOTE: This year, the campers will be divided in two age appropriate groups for most of the activities. The camp is managed by a professional camp director with several years experience in managing such camps along with 3 assistants. In addition, a few teen volunteers as well as an adult Sanskriti volunteer is present most of the day.

Teen Volunteers: This year, depending on the number of teens applying, there will be two shifts AM & PM Eligible teens are rising freshman/sophomores in high school. Please send an email if interested.
