Camp Kidding Around Yoga FAMILY CAMP is for kids age 8-15…and more!
Let us explain:
If your child is between the ages of 13-15 they are considered a C.I.T. Counselor in Training! Yes we offer a discount for C.I.T.’s. At the age of 16 they will qualify to become an assistant counselor. Check out the registration page.
We cannot offer housing for ages 0-3… BUT if you have kids ages 4, 5, 6 or 7, they can come to camp. Ages 4, 5 & 6 must sleep with a parent in the cabins separate from the regular campers. 7 year olds can only sleep in the cabins with the campers if a parent is on premises.

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.

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… 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.
For an extra fee Pathfinders Education is provided to enhance your child’s outdoor experience…and THEN they can go into their air conditioned cabins…Please contact Haris to let her know you are interested in the additional 1/2 day outdoor leadership training Pathfinders provides!
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.
VISITING DAY: This is optional. On Wednesday July 25th, come for lunch ($15), 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!
