I am currently suffering from PCS (Post Camp Syndrome)...
Symptoms include: Missing everyone from camp.. wishing time can go back to the first day of camp.. Haha but seriously, camp 2010 was a whole new experience.
Going back to what Dip said, the first day of camp was mellow and segregated between everyone's own groups.. The picnic was definitely the biggest ice breaker for everyone to come together and interact as Youth of Gayatri. I know Harshil already talked about the Watermelon eating contest and ultimate Frisbee, but i have to mention it again because it was soooooo much fun! It was great to see all the groups having fun and getting watermelon EVERYWHERE..
The topics for camp this year were very interesting and relative for our generation. Classes were not just lectures, but had a lot of interactive sessions for everyone to get involved in.
We definitely have a lot of very talented people in our Youth which was shown at the culture show.
GARBA NIGHT!!! wow what can i say.. I have been to 6 camps, and this was by far the best Garba night.. We learned a new combination from the Canadians which was a lot of fun.. We got down to Sanedo! We busted out our bhangra! Then still had energy to stay up the WHOLE NIGHT to play games..
I have laughed so much at this camp that i probably wont have to go to the gym for a year.. haha just kidding. I would say that National Camp was definitely a success this year.. Bringing together youth from all over North America to learn the teaching of Gurudev and to have a blast laughing!
It is amazing each camp seems to have an immense improvement from the last. I hope that 2011 camp will bring even more laughs and memories for us to keep with us forever..
Thank you to the Baltimore team for doing a great job.. Shout out to Canada for bringing a whole bus to camp! Also a big huge shout out to all the new friends i made this year from all over.. I definitely hope to keep in touch with everyone. Take careeee, and here we come 2011!!!
Jai Gurudev,
