Family Camp is a week-long program that combines meditation practice, outdoor time, and the warmth of family and community. For parents, the morning is a time for meditation practice, dharma talks and group discussions. There will also be spaces dedicated for practitioners to do their personal practice in a group setting.

For children we offer daily programs:
9:15 am—12:15 pm, grouped by age

  • Tigers (3-5)

  • Lions (6-7)

  • Garudas (8-10)

  • Dragons (11-12)

  • Explorers of the Phenomenal World (13-15)

  • Rites of Earth Warriorship (16+)

Activities are varied and often include meditation, craft projects, time outdoors, stories, songs, hikes in the woods, and group games. Afternoons are dedicated to family time, with both structured and spontaneous activities. There are many mountain lakes nearby to enjoy. Evenings include a relaxed dinner together, laughter and play on the front lawn, and supervised campfires with songs and stories.
