(for youngsters from 14 to 21 years)

http://www.bhaktivedantacollege.com/index.php?p=news&id=301

Based on the request of many devotees, in July of 2010, Bhaktivedanta
College will offer a summer camp for young devotees aged 14 to 21.
Experienced guides will help the youth become accustomed to life in the
spiritual community of Radhadesh and teach them music, art, spiritual
aspects of life, and lots of recreational activities.

There will be plenty of cultural exchanges and lots of learning of new
skills. Most camps offer fun, friendship, and memories, but what makes the
Radhadesh Summer Camp unique is our commitment to offer children a pure
devotional atmosphere, filled with opportunities to perform devotional
activities. Participants will explore many aspects of spiritual life and
learn how to integrate these into everyday life.

The camp is both a wonderful way to spend a holiday and an exciting
opportunity to broaden skills, add experience to one's life, and develop
friendships with peers from around the world. Participants will visit nearby
cities in Europe with fellow campers and discover the wonders of nature in
the Belgian Ardennes. Campers will return home spiritually enlivened and
refreshed.

The Radhadesh Summer Camp offers young people an exceptional opportunity to
make friends and a chance to grow in a favorable atmosphere of intercultural
exchanges and devotional activities under the guidance of experienced
teachers.
