Fun at camp

November 04, 2013 06:03 pm | Updated 06:03 pm IST

The Ramakrishna Math held a summer camp this year and I had to write an entrance test to get a seat. I was really excited that I got through.

The first day of the camp, we were told to wear white. I had to start early to be there on time. I didn’t have any close friends, but I slowly made friends with the other kids who attended the camp.

The first session of the day began with yoga and we learned different asanas . The second session included activities such as painting, drawing, craft and handwriting improvement classes among other things. I enjoyed these sessions very much. After a 45-minute break, during which they gave us breakfast and a glass of fruit juice, we were sent to the hall to sing shlokas , bhajans and patriotic songs. Then we went home.

The last day, competitions were held and I got second prize for one of the events. We were shown the movie “Little Krishna” afterwards and I loved it!

I developed many good habits like self-discipline, obedience, punctuality, self-confidence, self-development and more at the camp. Now I also have a monthly subscription to its publication.
