Important Information

About Facilities: AOL Camps are conducted in the ashram premises, which is well equipped with the necessary and basic amenities. Please do not expect any luxurious facilities or room service. We advise you & your child to go through pictures/ videos of ‘Triveni Ashram’, 'Camp Activities' and tentative ‘Schedule of Camp’ before registering.

About Rooms: Every room is well ventilated, having 4 single beds, 1 toilet, 1 bathroom & 1 wash basin. Hot water is supplied through solar panels. Clean rooms are allotted on the 1st day. Though we do regular pest-control, at times lizards / honey bees / small insects are found. If children spill food in rooms, they may face the problem of ants.

About Dormitory: We have 2 separate dormitories for Boys and Girls. Each dormitory is divided into 3 sections and each section can accommodate 30 - 50 participants. Just outside the dormitory 15 Bathrooms and 15 Washrooms with indian & western wc are there, hot water supply is there. Beds with pillows, bed sheets & blankets will be provided to all.

Kids group: Children & teens are divided into UY / IPK (8 to 13 yrs), MY/ IPT (13+ to 17yrs) & MY2 (14 to 17yrs) groups on the basis of their age. Even if a child has done UY/IPK before but does not fit in MY/ IPT age group, he still has to repeat UY/IPK.

Camp Food: We serve vegetarian meal four times a day. Along with breakfast we serve fruits & milk; For lunch & dinner we have Roti, subzi, dal, rice, salad & butter milk. As per kids' experience, the food is healthy and tasty. Please do not expect any lavish food but yes on somedays some fancy food is given. In all our Ashrams, meal is cooked without onion & garlic though we use potato. We can provide Jain food only if there are more than 15 kids requiring Jain food in the camp. Before our meals we all pray together & after meals we all have to wash our own plates.

Accompanying child in the camp: It is better if parents or relatives do not stay in campus for any Art of Living course or Ayurveda treatment when their child is participating in the camp. Other Children feel more homesick when they see other kids being accompanied by their parent or relative. We request parents not to visit their kids in between the camp. It defeats the entire purpose of sending kids to the camp and being independent.

Family Retreats: we have family retreats in our scheduled dates. So, on those dates parents can do any Art of Living course or Panchakarma treatment while their kids participate in the camps. This becomes like an entire family outing and every family member gets a break from their routine. So for parents who cannot stay away from their kids, this is a very good option. To know about courses for above 18+ years, contact Ashram at 9765999121 & do the booking directly. Kindly note that Parents and kids will be given different rooms.

About camp strength: In one camp maximum 100 kids of 8 to 13 years & 50 kids of 14 to 17 years will be taken.

Volunteers: Every camp will have a team of 10 Teachers & Volunteers in which at least 3 female volunteers and 2 female Art of Living Teachers will be there.

Medical facility: We have a dedicated volunteer well-prepared with 'First-Aid Kit'. The Ashram also has an ‘in-house Ayurvedic Doctor’ and ‘Car’ facility in case of any emergency. There is a 24 x 7 hospital at a 30 minute driving distance too. Children should be medically fit to participate in 'Adventure Camp'. If your child is undergoing any medical treatment and medicines need to be administered regularly, then the child should join the family retreat where parents accompany him and manage timely medication. Or Child should be educated to take medication by himself on time. Kindly do not depend on Volunteers or Teachers for timely medication of your child.

Contacting child during camp: We will call parents & make them talk to their child only on the 3rd day during lunch/ Snacks / dinner break. Kindly note only 1 call of 2 minutes to any of the parent will be made. We will not be able to answer any calls or sms unless there is an emergency. Do not give mobiles to your children, if found, it will be confiscated with a penalty of Rs.1000. In case of emergency you can contact Triveni Ashram 9765 999121.

Canteen & Shop: There is an all-purpose utility store in the ashram. All necessary items, Sri Sri Ayurveda products, goodies and eatables are available there. Please do not send more than Rs. 150. with your child as they end up buying a lot of junk food and ice creams, making them sick (cough and cold) during camps. Please note that organizers will not be responsible for safe keeping of their money.
