Applications for Family Camp 2026 are CLOSED
Registration will open soon
WELCOME TO FAMILY CAMP, a one-of-a-kind experiential program for children aged 5-12 set in the beautiful redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. At Family Camp, children and parents explore a variety of methods for cultivating happy, contented minds, and acquire techniques to help them navigate the emotionally complex society we live in today.
Built on the foundations of Tibetan Buddhism, Family Camp provides participants with tools for understanding their thoughts and emotions through meditation, discussion, art, nature and play. It is an opportunity to unplug and reconnect, bringing families together in an environment rich with opportunity to practice and experiment with the values of Buddhism. Together we enjoy a break from technology, being ‘off the grid’ at Vajrapani Institute, and have many opportunities to connect with others as well as reconnect with ourselves.
