Jain Youth Camp.

Program

At Jain Camp, campers learn how to apply Jain philosophy to their daily life. 

​

Complex Jain concepts like Ahimsa (non-violence), Aparigraha (non-possessiveness), or Anekantewad (multisidedness) are simplified and made relevant to youth growing up in North America.

​

The Jain Camp curriculum is jointly created by educators and an Ontario Certified teacher.  Classes are interactive and engaging and teachers encourage campers to question and think critically.

Activities

Jain Youth Camp has a whole host of activities, including Arts & Crafts, Campfires, Cultural Programs, Eco Workshops, Games, Hiking, Leadership Programs, Meditation, Interactive Classes, Swimming, Yoga, and more!
