What is Sun Camp?
Shambhala Sun Summer Camp is an annual gathering for children ages 10 – 16. Campers create and live in their own outdoor environment. Simplicity is the ground for experiencing daily life as open space. Campers discover themselves, their world and each other in a fresh and genuine way. Sun Camp is a place to have fun, make friends and learn to take responsibility for oneself and one's world in a gentle and playful environment.
The philosophy of Sun Camp is simple and profound, based on the teachings of Shambhala and the practices of Dorje Kasung. These ancient traditions are rooted in the belief that everyone is inherently good. If young people discover who they truly are, they can grow into confident compassionate and wise adults.
Shambhala Sun Summer Camp is comprised of 3 programs:
- Cadet Command Workshop (CCW)
- Sun Camp, this is the main program
- Rights of Warriorship (ROW)
