The youth camp was initiated to create an awareness amongst our Australian Hindu youths about our cultural values and provide them with the tools to succeed in life. We structure it in such a way that their appreciation of our ancestors is brought about by directly correlating to our modern life.

Why? Youths generally begin questioning why we do certain things or why we still refer to the epics when it happened so long ago. But the reality is, the epics are just the pathway in providing a deeper explanation into our daily chores, which is explored successfully. By having something to relate the past with the present, youths are given the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what being a Hindu means. Through this, they are also taught how to cultivate personal and social skills. Some examples include goal setting, team spirit, leadership skills and the importance of helping around the house. However, in saying all this, at its core, youth camp is really about bringing everyone together and creating an atmosphere of fun, laughter and great times.
