The Art of Living trained teachers conduct the following courses for children and teens as per their age. They facilitate the most powerful yet simple ‘Sudarshan Kriya’ & Meditation 

1. Utkarsha Yoga for 8 to 13 years 
Children have boundless energy that tends to manifest as anxiety, anger, aggression, and depression. 

The Utkarsha Yoga program offers simple breathing techniques, and tenets of wisdom to help children channel their energy into positive pursuits. With a calm and happy mind, children will be able to focus better and with greater memory power as well as clarity. It also equips children with the spirit of teamwork and creative problem-solving.


2. Medha Yoga Level 1 for 13+ to 17 years 
Teenage – The transition from childhood to adulthood is fraught with challenges that increase stress – academics, entrance exams, peer pressure, and relationships. 

The Medha Yoga Level 1 focuses on making teens stress-free and happy. The program helps teens overcome negative emotions and deal with stress through special breathing techniques. In addition, important life skills are honed through interactive processes and games. 

 

3. Medha Yoga Level 2 for 14 – 17 years

About Facilities

The AOLCAMP will be conducted in the premises of Sri Sri University Campus premises, which is well equipped with the necessary and basic amenities. Please do not expect any luxurious facilities or room service. We advise you & your child to go through pictures/ videos of Sri Sri University Campus, tentative schedule before registering.

About Rooms

Every room is well ventilated, having 3 single beds, 1 toilet, 1 bathroom & 1 wash basin. Hot water is supplied through solar panels. Clean rooms are allotted on the 1st day. Girls & Boys rooms are separate. Though we do regular pest-control, at times lizards / honey bees / small insects are found. If children spill food in rooms, they may face the problem of ants.

Kids group

Children & teens are divided into UY (8 to 13 yrs), MY-1 and MY-2 (13+ to 17yrs) groups on the basis of their age. Even if a child has done UY before but does not fit in MY age group, he still has to repeat UY. 

Kindly prepare your child to stay away

from you for 5 days. Make them aware of SSU facilities, schedule & activities through pictures & Videos, so that their expectations are managed. 

If any child feels homesick or cries, our team is dedicated to making them comfortable with love & Inspiration. All our efforts give results only when Parent’s support us in making children complete a camp rather than giving it up. 

Camp Food

We serve vegetarian meal four times a day. Along with breakfast we serve fruits & milk; For lunch & dinner we have Roti, subzi, dal, rice, salad etc. As per kids’ experience, the food is healthy and tasty. Please do not expect any lavish food but yes on some days some fancy food is given. Before our meals we all pray together & after meals we all have to wash our own plates. 

Accompanying child in the camp

It is better if parents or relatives do not stay in campus when their child is participating in the camp. Other Children feel more homesick when they see other kids being accompanied by their parent or relative. We request parents not to visit their kids in between the camp. It defeats the entire purpose of sending kids to the camp and being independent.

However if they still want, they can participate in our family retreat. 

Family Retreats

We have family retreat in our schedule. So, on those dates parents can do any Art of Living course or Panchakarma treatment while their kids participate in the camps. This becomes like an entire family outing and every family member gets a break from their routine. So for parents who cannot stay away from their kids, this is a very good option. Kindly note that Parents and kids will be given different rooms.

Medical facility

We have a dedicated volunteer well-prepared with ‘First-Aid Kit’. The SSU Campus also has a 24×7 Emergency clinic within the 100 bed Ayurveda Hospital. 

Children should be medically fit to participate in ‘Adventure Camp’.  If your child is undergoing any medical treatment and medicines need to be administered regularly, then the child should join the family retreat where parents accompany him and manage timely medication or Child should be educated to take medication by himself/herself on time. 

 

Contacting child during camp

We will call parents & make them talk to their child only on the 3rd day during lunch/ Snacks / dinner break. Kindly note only 1 call of 3 minutes to any of the parents will be made. We will not be able to answer any calls or sms unless there is an emergency. Do not give mobiles to your children, if found, it will be confiscated with a penalty of Rs.1000.​ In case of emergency you can contact our team. The emergency contact numbers will be shared with you. To make parents feel at ease, we will post pics on Facebook Page on alternate days. 

Divine Shop

There is an all-purpose utility store in the campus. All necessary items, Sri Sri Ayurveda products, goodies and eatables are available there. Please do not send more than Rs. 300. with your child as they end up buying a lot of junk food and ice creams, making them sick (cough and cold) during camps. Please note that organizers will not be responsible for safe keeping of their money.

Do not send any valuables like Camera, I-pad etc with children. Organizers will not be responsible for their safe keeping or damage. Kindly note that donation once paid is non refundable under any circumstances.
