A Truly Unique Austin Summer Camp

Camp Indigo, now in its 12th year, is a week-long Summer camp that offers exciting and creative opportunities for children ages 4 – 12 to express themselves and explore their world.  Camp Indigo promotes increased confidence, clear communication and a high level of respect for the self and others.  Some of this year’s summer camp offerings will include music-making, movement, yoga, art, gardening, and song-writing.

Each Summer, 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 volunteers 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 July 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!

Visit our online registration to register your children, make a payment or apply for a partial scholarship.

Volunteer At Camp Indigo: A Transformational Austin Summer Camp Experience

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 unique summer camp in Austin 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?  Click here to volunteer for this year’s Camp Indigo or click the Serve button below (please fill out a form even if you’ve volunteered at Camp Indigo before).

Sponsor A Child To Attend Camp Indigo

This year, a large number of the children that attend Camp Indigo will be on scholarship, including refugee children who have recently moved to Austin.  The Amala Foundation aims to provide transformational experiences, like Camp Indigo, to all children, regardless of their families’ financial situation.  If you have the ability to do so, we ask that you consider making a donation to the Camp Indigo Scholarship Fund so that all children that need this experience will receive it.

“Camp Indigo 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 The Amala Foundation
