Each academic year, an off-site camp is organized on the Labor Day weekend for Balavihar children. Children leave from Saaket on a Friday evening to go to the campsite for the next two days. A typical day at the camp starts with meditation and includes activities like yoga, satsang with the acharyas, learning bhajans and slokas, crafts, volleyball, cricket and other outdoor games and also gives them an opportunity to showcase their talents in the evenings. Children come away from the camps with fond memories and create lasting relationships with the acharyas and each other.
