From Monday 22nd July to Sunday 28th July, a family Gurmat Camp took place in Sweden. The camp
was attended by around one-hundred and fifty
or so Sangat, aged from three to adults. Over the week camp there
were classes
on Gursikhi Jeevan, Gurbani, Keertan, Youth and Social, and Sikh History. I have been too many camps but the children of this camp were so well behave and so well composed. The children were so eager to learn about Sikhi. The atmosphere of the camp was great. The great weather, scenic Gurdwara surroundings and being in the Sangat of Chardikala Naam-Abhiaasi Gursikhs helped to make the camp great.

Sunday morning. The children were so eager to practice Keertan that they got the Vaaja Tablaa out in the Gurdwara garden. Vaheguru!
Sunday diwaan. All the campers presented something that they had learnt at the camp. Bhai Sajjan Singh jee asked them questions and they gave the answers to the Sangat. Very nice programme.
