Camp Desi Roots
South Asian Youth Camp
Camp Desi Roots is a summer program that empowers South Asian youth to connect with themselves, each other, and nature, and root themselves in their stories and power.
We are storytellers.
Our kids are storytellers. We believe we are deeply rooted in our immigrant family histories, and through storytelling, we reveal aspects of ourselves that give us strength, and remind us that we, too, are brave, and can do hard things.
We are adventurous.
Our kids immerse themselves joyfully in nature. We learn about ourselves and each other through outdoor adventure - hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing, ropes courses, ziplining, climbing challenges, and outdoors sports activities.
We are reflective.
Our kids are reflective. We start each day with yoga, and we end each day with gratitude circles around a campfire. We believe in the power of reflecting on our purpose, and working in service of something larger than ourselves.
