Hare Krishna! My previous experience as a camp counselor had an extremely positive impact in many aspects of my life and I would love to carry out this service as an attempt to give back. I love working with people, building new friendships, and creating an atmosphere of comfort and fun for those around me. Also, I absolutely love Gulab Jamuns :0) I look forward to utilizing my abilities in the best possible way to make Camp Ignite a meaningful and unforgettable experience!

Hare Krishna! After attending Camp Ignite as a counselor last year, I really admired what was being done to cultivate great qualities within all these young kids. I strive to continue to make this camping trip a memorable experience that positively impacts everyone present. Through my life experience, I have developed the ability to easily connect with people of all ages which is something that I think will help me better serve all the campers. Thank you for allowing this trip to take place by trusting us to play an important role in shaping your kids' future.

Gopal Krishna Das

Haribol. I'm very excited to be a part of this camp. Krsna consciousness is the most precious gift we have and can give to the youths who are the future. Being born and raised in ISKCON Juhu Mumbai India, I really appreciate Krsna conscious environment. I love working with children and showing them how KC makes us an amazing human being. Association is the key. Chanakya pandit says"Just as impressions on a clay pot cannot be changed after they are baked, similarly impressions on a child's mind is irreversible and stays forever." I hope to come and exchange various ways to present KC in a fun and enjoyable way in order to create an experience which will last us a lifetime.

Hare Krishna! I had the amazing opportunity to attend the very first camping retreat (2014) in which I was taught many values regarding friendship, integrity, and self acceptance. My previous/current experience as a Sunday school teacher for the D.C youth group has helped me be more open and interactive with kids of all ages. I can't wait to spend time with everyone and I'm looking forward to having a great time!

gopakanya echarry

Haribol! My name is Gopakanya. Two things I love are nature and association with devotees. This year as a camp counselor, I am excited to share my love and enthusiasm for Krishna. In Chapter 6 text 24 of the Bhagavad-gita Krishna says "The process of bhakti-yoga can be executed successfully with full-hearted enthusiasm, perseverance and determination by following the prescribed duties in association of devotees and by engaging completely in activities of goodness." I can not wait to serve these young devotees with my intellect and enthusiasm for Krishna!

Haribol! This is the first time I will be a counselor for TSI Camp Ignite and I couldn't be more excited!!! My childhood was filled with camping trips and retreats for youth and I'm so excited to be giving this opportunity to others! Nothing is more important to me than guiding the next generation and I have no doubt that this is a trip none of us will ever forget!

Krishna Kummari

Hare Krishna! I started my journey as a camp counselor in 1992 at camp Krishna. I became a Sunday school teacher and worked for many years on developing a model for a Devotee day school. Since that time, I have received official training in Waldorf education and have lead a devotional preschool, after school classes in devotional arts, become a yoga teacher, taught yoga in public elementary schools, and assisted and lead Bhakti camps in DC and upstate NY. I am a mother of 3 amazing souls. My intention is to be fully present for the kids that are attending camp ignite. As a counselor I would like to learn from them how Krishna is in their lives. I will do whatever is needed to serve them and care for them.
