The Famous SYA Summer Camp
SYA has run annual summer youth camps since 1999. Now in its 23rd year running the SYA summer youth camp is an opportunity to make new friends and have fun, while also having the ability to immerse in knowledge and understanding of Sikhism.
By the end of the camp each participant, no matter how young or old, will leave with at least one thing they didn’t have before they arrived, whether they have learnt something new, created a new friendship or discovered something about themselves!
Facilitators:
Each year a team of international facilitators share their knowledge, educate and inspire our youth through katha, workshops, multimedia presentations and open discussions. This is all done in an interactive, fun and relaxed learning environment with English as the primary medium.
Facilitators for the 2023 Summer Camp will be confirmed shortly.
ALL facilitators maintain a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where questions and discussions are encouraged. While the main medium is English, ALL facilitators speak BOTH English & Punjabi.
Children: 
A curriculum focused on learning the core basics of Sikhi, in a fun, entertaining and nurturing environment!
Adventure activities are organised every afternoon including; sailing, canoeing, rope courses, archery, swimming, basketball & soccer.

Youth: 
Each participant is allocated a Jatha for the duration of the camp - taking part in daily competitions, challenges, activities, sewa and kirtan.
Encouraged and fostered to meet, share and grow with others of their own age and learn about the Sikh religion & heritage.
Sports/Drama/Discussions and Cultural Activities provide an opportunity for all youth to show their skills, passions and talent.
Adults: 
Challenging and engaging seminars to learn about Gurbani, and gain a deeper understanding of Sikhi, History and the way in which Sikhi fits into a modern context.
