Camps
Towards Ahimsa is offering two overnight summer camp options for youth. Over the pandemic, we are offering a Virtual Camp to connect with campers and families. Please read the descriptions to determine which camp is best suited for your child.
Virtual Camp
April 12-16, 2021
Join Towards Ahimsa's Virtual Camp and reconnect with fellow campers, and counsellors past and present. We will host a series of engaging and educational videos on yoga, meditation, mantras, crafts, baking, and global issues. There will also be contests, prizes, and a live games night on the last day. Access virtual camp via the Towards Ahimsa Facebook and Youtube sites. Different videos will be uploaded each day, and all videos will be available to watch at your leisure.
Vegetarian Eco Camp
July 2022
Our engaging nature-based activities use critical and balanced thinking to understand the connections between us, animals and the environment. Yoga and meditation-mindfulness are introduced as fun physical and mental exercises to lead healthy, fulfilling, and conscientious lives. Vegetarian Eco Camp is a non-denominational camp and welcomes all faiths and cultures. Vegetarian Eco Camp is for campers aged 9-17 and will be held at the YMCA Cedar Glen Campground in Schomberg, Ontario, Canada.
Jain Camp
August 2022
Jain Camp is an unforgettable overnight camp experience for youth aged 12-17! Through fun and engaging workshops, campers learn how to put Jain philosophy into practice in every day life. As well, campers gain leadership skills, enjoy games, and build life-long friendships in our community. Jain Camp will be held at the Blue Springs Scout Reserve Campground in Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada. This camp collaborates with organizations from the Jain faith and is subsidized by community donations.
