To all SYANA 2019 campers
Camp is just under a month away …
We have a number of special activities planned for the week and are excited about the time we will all be spending together soon. It is our hope that as we sit with one another during divaans, History classes, and Keertan classes, we can learn together and remember the greatness of those who came before us.
The hope is that with this glimpse of the Sikh way of life, the desire to continue this journey throughout the year will grow within each child.
Below are a few important details related to the camp this year, so please read in its entirety and parents, please make sure to read the link cited below with specific information for you.
1. All campers should arrive between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm on Sunday, June 30th.
2. If you are travelling by air, bus or train, please notify us with your travel plans, no later than June 18th at info@sikhyouthalliance.org so that we can make arrangements for your transportation to/from the campsite. The closest airport is Flint, MI but we can also pick up from Detroit, MI
3. Make sure to have enough Dastaars, Chunnies/bandanas for the week. It is a camp requirement that your head be covered throughout the day.
