“From Screens to Sanskar: Chetana’s Winter Child Camp Creates Transformative Impact”
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A three-day residential “Winter Child Camp” organized by Chetana Empowerment Foundation at Chetana Happy Village from 25th to 27th December 2025 concluded successfully in a highly positive, inspiring, and transformative environment. More than 75 children participated enthusiastically in this unique initiative.
Designed especially for children growing up in today’s screen-dominated lifestyle, the camp offered a holistic experience focused on the rejuvenation of mind, body, and thought. Through a wide range of adventure activities, outdoor games, and group exercises, children underwent a complete digital detox for three days. Staying away from mobile phones, they rediscovered the joy of nature, friendship, and self-connection.
Special emphasis was given to enhancing mental strength, self-confidence, and decision-making abilities through meditation, breathing exercises, and adventure-based learning.
As part of the camp, a Social Media Anti-Addiction Competition was organized, where children powerfully expressed the ill effects of social media through street plays, poetry, solo performances, and paintings, showcasing both creativity and awareness.
Expert trainers guided children on important life skills such as anger management, self-control, balanced screen usage, and the practical application of teachings from the Bhagavad Gita in daily life. Various simple and effective tools and techniques were introduced, and noticeable positive changes were observed among many participants during the camp itself.
A key highlight of the program was a special Parent Orientation Session titled “Raising Mentally Strong Children.” This impactful session addressed modern parenting challenges, effective communication with children, and problem-solving skills. More than 90 parents attended the session and described it as eye-opening and deeply meaningful.
The successful execution of the camp was made possible by the dedicated efforts of over 15 young volunteers and the 20-member committed team of Chetana Happy Village, whose selfless service, discipline, and tireless hard work played a crucial role.
Set in an environment that beautifully blends values, discipline, positive thinking, and joy, the Winter Child Camp at Chetana Happy Village proved to be not just a camp, but a life-shaping experience for children.
