MASSACHUSETTS, USA, September 2, 2002: Two hundred participants attended the Vivekananda Family Camp in August. The camp was held in beautiful, lakeside facilities in the western Massachusetts town of Tolland. At this week-long residential camp, youth learned about and practiced Hindu values while participating in a variety of fun activities. Campers enjoyed yoga, crafts, games, classes on Hindu philosophy, Eastern and Western games (kabaddi and volleyball), cultural programs put on by the campers and campfire discussions. The family camp has become a very popular event in the community in the Northeast where it has been organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America since 1979. Campers came from New England states, New York, New Jersey as well as Canada. Further information about the camp can be obtained from “source” above.
