Teenage Camp - How it Started, contributed by Sis Lye
It all started in 2002, with a wish to share the Dhamma with young friends, to set up KBC youth group and with the consent and full support from the committee, we took our first step.
Our first Teenage Camp theme was ‘don’t worry be happy’ attracted teens from around Kajang and other states. Then, our second camp theme was `how to live without fear and worry’, third camp theme was ‘Do it right’, fourth camp theme was ‘Right here, Right now’, fifth camp theme was ‘Love….’ and this year 2007, our sixth year, theme is ‘we do cos’ we care’. Number of participants increases over the years.
The main objective of organizing these Teenage Camp is to spread the Dhamma to our young friends in a fun and easy way. Our Program consists of Interactive games, Dhamma talks, hymns singing and Puja.
Many Dhamma speakers and Reverences were invited to give talk during the Teenage Camp. They were very supportive and have given us comments and lots of encouragement.
One of the very important resources of running the Teenage Camp is our facilitators. We are lucky to have students from nearby universities coming in to help us. Namely UM, UPM, UKM, Uniten, MMU and TAR college. Also not forgetting, former participants who were above 17 years old, had joint us as student facilitators, where they learn and help.
Some of the kitchen volunteers for Teenage Camp, actually there are more apologies if picture of those not shown.
Lastly, we have organized the 6th Teenage Camp from 13th - 16th December 2007. We would like to express our gratitude and heart felt thanks to those who have contributed during the camp in one way or another.
May the blessing of the Triple Gem be with you always.
