KAY Camp is being held at the fabulous Dayspring Retreat Center in Ellenton, Florida. This facility, although Episcopal, accommodates groups from all faiths for activities and retreats throughout the year. My own children attended a great Jewish camp there and I was so impressed with the facility, that I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Check out this video to see Dayspring.
Peace, Love, Sharing, Caring, Compassion, Non-Violence, Karma, Co-Existence, Kindness, Spirituality, Tolerance & Ecumenicism. These are all words that come to mind when we think of a Yogic lifestyle. Yes we cover them ALL!
ALWAYS lots of Tie Dye at Camp!
YOGA is not a sport and it’s not an activity. It’s a Science and a way of life! Therefore,…all the above mentioned Yogic ideals are nurtured at camp. Sometimes DIRECTLY through short lectures, given by an experienced yogi or maybe even a SWAMI… but mostly through the many fun activities Haris has developed during her 11 years of running a children’s Yoga camp.
“Truth is one, paths are many” …Swami Satchidananda
We have a unique and fun system for teaching cultural diversity, tolerance, and embracing all religions through our very own songs and stories.
ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE: YOGA, MEDITATION, Canoeing, Water play, Hiking, Biking, Drumming, Chanting, Arts & Crafts, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Yoga-lympics, Tie Dye!!!, and more. We are very proud to announce that we will be working with Pathfinders Education to enhance your child’s outdoor experience…and THEN they can go into their air conditioned cabins…
We are offering a half day leadership program through Pathfinders Florida.
Pathfinders’ primary objective is to teach personal, social, and environmental responsibility through activity-based learning. They offer programs that build community, develop leadership and teamwork, and enhance communication. Working together to identify and achieve common goals, participants gain new skills in problem-solving, healthy decision-making, and resolving conflicts. Pathfinders is a huge treat for KAY CAMP!
You children will be unplugged during their 6 days at camp. Please DO NOT send them with cell phones or electronic gadgets of any kind. Trust me they WON’T miss them.
Lodging: Cabins are air conditioned and carpeted and every 16 kids has their own bathroom with multiple showers and toilet stalls in their cabin. Yes we are roughing it!
Medical Care: We will have our very own full time nurse, on staff at all times.
Food: Three meals a day are provided by the facility. And yes they do cater to vegetarians!
Staff: We have the very BEST staff! Our counselors are all above the age of 18 ..they are groovy, cool, yogic minded, and very responsible. I still remember my camp counselors and I promise you, YOUR kids will never forget theirs, or their entire camp experience! Our staff to camper ratio is: 1:2. To learn more, please visit our Meet the Staff page.
VISITING DAY: This is optional. On Wednesday July 25th, come for lunch, an arts and crafts project or a hike. At 4:00 we will have a drum circle. After dinner we will host a fabulous Kirtan, with Haris’ very own group The Asana Posse. You are welcome to stay!
Too old for KAY CAMP, but would like to come anyways?
There will be limited beds for parents who would like to be at KAY Camp. You will be able to participate in a few activities and have your own adult Yoga retreat as well. Hiking, Lounging, Reading, (volunteering with the kids?) OR you can cruise down the road to the Ellenton Outlet Mall. =)
The fee for visiting parents is $125 per night for a group dorm with other adults. You do not have to stay all week, but you cannot come and go. If you are going to be at camp we prefer you come in the beginning. These arrangements will be made on a case by case basis.
Arrangements can be made with enough notice for private lodging for couples.
Registration will open on January 1st, 2012. All registration forms will be posted no later than January 1st. But if you are interested, it’s a good idea to email Haris@kiddingaroundyoga.com to let her know.
