Sadhu Vaswani Center of New Jersey conducts an annual Hindu heritage summer camp to provide an opportunity for Hindu youth, ages 8 to 16, to explore and understand the diverse traditions and philosophies of Hindu Religion in an intellectual, nurturing, and fun-filled environment.
Sports and exciting programs provide a variety of fun filled activities, such as hiking, nature walks among the Appalachian Mountain trails, canoeing and swimming. There is an adventure course, basketball court, volleyball and open areas for fun in the sun. Campers also learn Indian dance, music, and enjoy delicious Indian meals prepared on site! They learn to conduct puja, sing bhajans, and chant Sanskrit shlokas.
The most exciting part of the camp is our location! The camp is held near the scenic Delaware Water Gap at the Princeton Blairstown Center. This is a very special natural place in the rolling hills and valleys of Northwestern New Jersey. There, near the small historic village of Blairstown, is an unusually beautiful 263 acres of forest, lakes, streams, waterfalls, trails and wildlife. This is an accredited camp facility which has been operated by Princeton University for over 100 years! It has been continually maintained to modern standards.
Campers find our camp a life transforming experience! They go back with a sense of high self-esteem and confident of their Indian background. Most campers find that making long lasting friendship with other campers is in itself worth going to the camp!
