Dharma Rain - Dharma Camp - Registration
Dharma
Camp
REGISTRATION — Eligibility and Cost
We work to preserve this camp as a safe space for
kids to explore and mature, and so we reserve the right to refuse
any application. We do not discriminate on the
basis of gender, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation or identity,
religious affiliation, or political beliefs.
Like last year, Mandala on the Mountain will be held amongst Camp Adams’ woods
and streams. Camp Adams is about an hour from Portland, near Molalla.
The dates for 2013 are
July 14-20.
Early registration closes May 1st. For the
past several years, more people have wanted to attend camp than we were
able to accommodate. After May 1st the prices go up, and there is
no guarantee that a space will be available.
Age
Campers need to be nine years old by the time camp starts to attend
camp.
Interest
Campers need to be willing to participate fully during
camp. Campers do not have to be Buddhist, but do need to have an interest
in Buddhism, as well as a willingness to immerse themselves, and enjoy
themselves, in a Buddhist environment. This camp is geared more towards
those with a demonstrated interest than to those who have never encountered
Buddhism before and are just curious about doing something different. From
past years, we have found it is helpful when kids have some background
and familiarity with Buddhist ideas and practice.
Health
It is the parent’s responsibility to let us know if
the camper has any conditions that need special attention (see Registration
and Release Form).
We are fairly adaptable, and camp is enjoyable for campers with a wide
spectrum of athletic
abilities.
Interview
We conduct interviews with potential campers
who have not been to camp before. These are not scary, and are just to
determine
if Mandala on the Mountain is appropriate for you or your child.
These may be over the phone or in person. Contact
the Center to make an
appointment.
Cost
The prices have changed for families who are not members of
either Dharma Rain or ZCO. A $25 deposit is due with the registration,
and is included
in the cost.
