"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"
— Mahatma Gandhi
“Mhmm…It’s muffin day!” a camper shouts to her friends. Cooking fresh meals and caring for 150+ campers and counselors is a big job, but the smiles and the spirit of Karma Yoga make it all worthwhile. Whether you're a curious first-time parent, an alum looking to reconnect, or a returning volunteer, please come embrace selfless service while creating new friendships.
