The Sutradhar Institute offers two summer camps every year. Participants of both programs perform a concert at the end of each session.
Camp Ramayana is a month-long summer camp for children aged 5 to 12. The Ramayana is a 2000-year old epic, deeply rooted in the culture and identity of South and Southeast Asians. Like all great epic tales, it is a vast, complex story that captures the imagination of adults and children alike. The Sutradhar Institute’s approach is somewhat unique in that campers are introduced to the Ramayana through story-telling, martial arts, yoga, mask-making, Sanskrit (the language of the epic), poetry, rangoli (floor painting) and creative writing--thus appealing to all children’s love of stories and story-telling. The camp has been operating for over 20 years, with many children returning year after year, first attending as junior campers and then later as camp counselors.
Ramayana Camp dates and times: June 22nd through July 17th 2015, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Our Ramayana (children's performance) is July 16th 2015. The location and time is to be confirmed.
