Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

We invite you all to participate in the First SGNC  Camp Sirhind 2006.  The camp is an interactive family event, with a focus on teaching Sikh principles to children ages 7 to 14.  The theme of this year’s camp will be “Ardaas: What’s In It for Me?” 

The camp will be residential, meaning camp participants are expected to stay overnight (adult and senior counselor supervision will be provided at all times).  There will be workshops and dialogues for both camp participants and adults, and the majority of the classes will be taught by older youth and young adults.

The campsite is fun and convenient to many.  There are a lot of activities, and the weather in Raleigh during that time of year is great. 

So we hope to see you all there and help make our first camp a success!
