MASSACHUSETTS, USA, September 2, 2002: Two hundred participants attended the

Vivekananda Family Camp in August. The camp was held in beautiful, lakeside

facilities in the western Massachusetts town of Tolland. At this week-long

residential camp, youth learned about and practiced Hindu values while

participating in a variety of fun activities. Campers enjoyed yoga, crafts,

games, classes on Hindu philosophy, Eastern and Western games (kabaddi and

volleyball), cultural programs put on by the campers and campfire

discussions. The family camp has become a very popular event in the

community in the Northeast where it has been organized by Vishwa Hindu

Parishad of America since 1979. Campers came from New England states, New

York, New Jersey as well as Canada. Further information about the camp can
