On day 4, campers and Sevadars headed to Highstreet Cinemas for a movie field trip! Campers got to enjoy popcorn, a drink and candy! After the movie, everyone headed back to Gurmat Center to enjoy a pizza lunch and cupcakes! We ended off with our final darbar where all campers and Sevadars received certificates and got to meet Babu lion as they said their final goodbyes!

On day 3, campers enjoyed their last day of classes learning about why we need Khalsa raj and what can we do on an individual level. All guest speakers were thanked and given custom 30th anniversary Gurmat Center gym bags with lots of goodies inside! Campers also got to take home their custom Spring Gurmat Camp bags. During recreation, all campers got to enjoy the sunshine outside and partake in lots of fun activities! The day then ended off with snack time and prizes in darbar! 

Day 2 of Spring Camp was a success! All classes were focused on Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji, the lion of Punjab. Campers also got to learn a lot in Gatka class with Bhai Jagjit Singh. The rest of the day was full of a yummy lunch and snacks, sports & games and Darbar time. 

After 3 years, Spring Gurmat Camp has finally launched! Campers enjoyed a variety of activities, sports & games, Gurmat, Sikh History, and Gatka class! The theme of this year’s Spring Camp is “Raj Karega Khalsa”! On day 1, we focused on Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Jee. 

Sevadars spent all day prepping for Spring Gurmat Camp! The day consisted of physical set up, & schedule planning for all age groups. We are looking forward to finally being able to host Spring Camp after 3 years!

Admin members visited Kalgidhar Gurmat Academy in Edmonton! During the visit, Sevadars saw the academy in action and the beautiful work being done for the Sikh youth in Edmonton. With Maharaj’s Kirpa, Sevadars also shared resources and experiences through several meetings. May Maharaj bless the academy’s wonderful and hardworking Sevadars with more Seva and success. We cannot wait to see the academy grow more and more!

February's GCY guest speaker was Bhai Gurkeerat Singh. Bhai Sahib shared his personal reflections about Khalsa Vaheer & Bhai Amritpal Singh. Sangat also got to get a sneak peek of a documentary that Bhai Sahib is preparing! Then, everyone headed to the gym to play some basketball. The evening ended off with pizza dinner and ice cream sundaes for dessert!

For the month of January, GCY was held back at its original location! It was wonderful to host the event there. Our speaker for the evening was Tejpreet Kaur, who led a discussion about balancing Sikhi and school along with a discussion about the importance of Education in Sikhi! After the discussion, everyone headed to the gym to play an intense and fun game of dodgeball. This was followed by pizza dinner and ice cream sundaes!
