East Coast Children's Spring Retreat & Camp

"Parents should try to inculcate in their children's minds the value of leading a spiritual life. This is the most valuable wealth that parents can give to their children. Material wealth will perish, but spiritual wealth is imperishable... While feeding children food and providing them with other necessities, remember to feed them with some spiritual values as well."

M.A.Center is conducting a two day Children's Spiritual Retreat and Camp for the East Coast on the weekend of April 16th, 2011. The program will be held in the Washington DC Area at:

M. A. Center
9109 Harrington Dr.,
Potomac, MD 20854

The children's retreat is a marvelous supplement to the spiritual education that your child is receiving at home. Led by Br. Dayamrita and a well-experienced team of facilitators, the retreat includes:

  • meditation
  • treasure hunts
  • Q & A sessions with Dayamrita Swami
  • arts and crafts
  • group problem solving games
  • an evening campfire (weather permitting)
  • Nature Study and Hiking (weather permitting)
and much, much more packed in a chock-full 2 days. This retreat is attended by children of spiritually oriented families from across the country, so your child can make friends with peers who have similar spiritual interests. Truly loved and enjoyed by the children, the retreat is packed with memorable experiences that will help to form a firm spiritual foundation.

If you have children between the ages of 8 to 14, please give them this great opportunity to help them grow spiritually.

The retreat is for Children ONLY.
