Last year was the 11th year of Camp Indigo and took place from June 20th – 24th at First Unitarian Universalist Church Of Austin. This year’s dates, times and venue for the 12th Annual Camp Indigo will be announced in early March.  Please note that registration for Camp Indigo filled up extremely fast last year and we were unfortunately unable to accommodate all the kids that wanted to attend.

A Truly Unique Austin Summer Camp

Each Summer, Camp Indigo promotes a high level of respect for the self and others, clear communication, increased confidence and acts as a space for healing and personal growth. Some of this year’s offerings included music-making, movement, yoga, art, gardening, song writing, and that’s just the beginning!

Camp Indigo unites local Austin businesses, farmers, musicians, artists, community leaders and volunteers in a posture of equality and celebration of Austin’s children. It is our hope that local, immigrant, and refugee children from diverse countries, cultures, faiths and economic backgrounds can come together to create and share in a living experience of peace, compassion, creative expression and unconditional love. The intention is to create a summer camp environment that is safe, nurturing, fun, and creative where children can freely express, heal, be acknowledged and heard. We endeavor to support and empower all children to explore the essence of who they are. All summer camp activities are designed to create a space for the facilitators and children to experience a deeper opening of their hearts. Camp Indigo is transformational for all involved.

Please note that each day at camp we will provide a morning snack, juice or tea and water. Each child must bring a sack lunch, water bottle and towel (for yoga and sitting on). It is hot in June and we will be playing outside, so please dress your child with appropriate clothes & shoes (preferably not flipflops) and provide them with a hat or sunscreen if necessary. Please write your child’s name on their water bottle, towel and lunch boxes!

Serve At Camp Indigo

At the Amala Foundation, we recognize that the most direct way to experience a fuller life is to serve others. We unite those seeking more meaningful lives with those in great need by channeling this into humanitarian service projects that matter like the Camp Indigo; a truly unique Austin summer camp for kids.

Camp Indigo is powered by inspired volunteers from all walks of life. Are you a teacher, musician, artist, performer, gardener, yoga teacher, dancer, builder, inventor or juggler? Do you have knowledge that you would like to share with children or do you think you have much to learn by serving the children?

“This summer camp is like no other: the purpose of the projects, the artwork and the movement are self-inquiry for the child. Every single thing we do and every communication we have with these children is to point their attention back to their own hearts.” –Vanessa Stone, Founder of Amala
