An interview with Melody Hansen on how living in community supports her family.Ananda has a variety of summer camps designed for children and teens aged 3 1/2 to 17, and a camp for the whole family. In the camp for younger children, they will learn about their higher selves through stories, songs, art, nature activities, yoga, and play.
Older children’s camps include yoga, swimming (at the Washington camp), nature activities, animal husbandry (at the Half Moon Bay camp), and arts and crafts. Teens will experience arts, music, yoga, meditation, philosophy, time in nature, sports and empowerment activities. They’ll develop inner strength, learn leadership skills, find their calm and focus and make friends for life.
