Atlanta Namadwaar – Krishna’s Leela-Land Summer Camp
Atlanta Namadwaar conducted Krishna’s Leela land 2025 a vibrant and spiritually enriching summer camp from June 2nd – June 13th 2025. The camp was designed to immerse children in the divine stories and values of Lord Krishna. With a perfect blend of culture, creativity, and character-building, the camp welcomed 40 enthusiastic participants aged 5 to 13. The 2-week journey was a celebration of devotion, learning, and joy.
The camp successfully created a space where children could grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially, all while having immense fun. The camp was powered by the tireless efforts of adult and youth volunteers of Atlanta Namadwaar family who worked in harmony to create a nurturing and joyful environment. Sri Takurji’s grace coupled with the efforts of the volunteers made this divine journey possible. Each day revolved around a specific Krishna leela, with stories, crafts, and activities aligned to the theme. Parents expressed deep appreciation for the camp’s values and structure. Each child took home a beautiful idol of Laddu Gopal, whom they lovingly welcomed into their homes. Since then, many have joyfully continued the practice of offering daily Nama and Naivedyam deepening their personal connection with Krishna. They left with smiles, new friendships, a deeper connection to their cultural roots and a commitment to chant Nama everyday.
