Om Shakti hosted it’s first 3-day Summer day camp this year! We know, “Summer” in Trinidad? But it’s the term we stole from the Americans over some time and now use it to depict the time of the year, mainly June – August.
The youths of Om Shakti were off from school, so what better to do than spend time in their temple participating in self-growth activities and games?
The camp commenced on the 6th of July, 9AM to 2PM, and closed on the 8th of July, a short space of time, but nothing short of fun and learning!
Participating members were introduced to Havan & Yoga, they learnt Music, Art & Crafts, Balloon crafting and played recreational games like cricket, musical chairs and other fun activities which never had a boring moment. In the end they learnt a most important aspect of life known as Sewa, by which they cleaned their surroundings, which they used over the 3 days.
Guest speakers were brought in to educated the youngsters and adults alike. It took the great effort of the adult members to host this first time event at Om Shakti, and we are very thankful for their persevering efforts.
Participating youths were awarded Om Shakti Certificates for attending over the 3 day period at our weekly service on Thursdays, which is a complement to their record.
Children are the future, and we must find constructive avenues for them. Om Shakti hosts it’s weekly classes every Saturday, open to the public at 2PM -4PM. A mere two(2) hours out of a 168 hour week at your convenience. We enjoy our classes so much, we had to take the opportunity of the School Holidays to host the youngsters during that period. We look forward to even a better 2nd annual Summer Day camp, with more activities and a longer period. We would love to see you there!
Here are just a few of the images of the camp and the rest are available on Picasa.
