I have been going to the Sikh Student camp since it first began 4 years ago.
It has taught me to be a better person. I believe I would not have got to
where I am if it was not for the people I met at this camp.

Seeta Kaur - Testimonial 13
It was the first time for me going to the Sikh Student Camp for that matter
any camp at all, the Sikh Student Camp changed my life and all for the good.
From the very first day that I went to camp I realised that this was the
place where all our brothers / sisters should want to go at my age for the
simple reason being everybody should get this chance to learn more about
Sikhi.
Not only was the discussions the whole experience of being at the Sikh
Student Camp was great just to be around such caring people (Sangath) was
amazing.
The day that really inspired was the day we done kirtan outside on the grass
that day felt like this was a whole new start for me and I felt like I had
been blessed by Guru Ji, I felt so amazed I don't even think words could
describe how I felt.
It will nearly be a year since Sikh Student Camp 2005 but that experience I
will never forget and for that matter I can't wait for this years Sikh
Student. I think the Seva everyone does to put this camp together is amazing
and should keep up the great work because this really does make the
difference to the Gursikhs out there today.

Satpal Singh - Testimonial 13 - Sikh Student Camp 2005
Sikh Student camp was the first camp for adults that I attended when it started 5 years ago. At first it was just an excuse for me to chill out with my mates, but it soon became a major stepping stone in my spiritual progression. The simran, the sangat, the lectures, the seva and the chance to really experience sikhi, rather than just talk about it, have all kept me going back ever since. I have met the most amazing, open minded, challenging, inspiring and friendly sangat there many of whom have become very close friends of mine. Anyone who has been to the camp will tell you that the love you feel is out-standing. If you want a truly spiritual uplifting time and want to experience the great and profound revelations of our Gurus, then come to Sikh Student Camp, it WILL change your life.

Amrit Kaur - Testimonial 12 - Sikh Student Camp 2006
Sikhicamp 2006 will be my third camp. Camp has totally changed me and my
life for the better. Having come from a Gursikh family I was used to having
religion around me. It was not until I came to camp that I realised how
important Sikhi was to the younger generation. Finally after years of being
around non-Sikhs, I had found people who understood the importance of faith,
religion, discipline, honesty and respect. I had always done paath in the
morning and evening, kirtan and go to the Gurdwara every Sunday, but it was
not until I went to camp that I truly understood the reasons behind
everything. It made me appreciate Sikhi in a new light that I had never
experienced before. I look forward to camp every year. It’s guaranteed to
take away any worries and fears that I might have, so much so that I've
referred to camp as my therapy as it helps keep me sane in this crazy world
that we all live in!

Inderjit Kaur - Testimonial 11
Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Jee kee Fateh
My name is Inderjit Kaur Gahunia, and both my son and daughter (Amandeep Singh and Pardeep Kaur) have been enjoying the blessings of Sikh Student Camp for the last few years. My son has been both a camper and a sevadar at the camp for the last four years, and I believe it has helped in both his spiritual and personal development. He has learnt so many things from this particular camp and has spread the love and knowledge of Sikhism he has experienced at this camp with myself, our family and family friends; all of whom have told me personally that they have fully appreciated and benefited from interacting with a participant of this camp.
My daughter was a part of Sikh Student Camp last year. I allowed her to go due to all the positive responses I heard from my son and his friends who had helped organise this camp. My daughter arrived back home full of love for Sikhi and a new knowledge and perspective of our beautiful religion that she had not experienced previously. In the year since, she has begun doing her daily prayers and seva at the local Gurdwara on a more regular basis, whilst also assisting as a sevadar in smaller Sikhi camps for children around the country.
I believe both my son and daughter have benefited immensely from Sikh Student Camp, and I applaud and thank the organisers of the camp for playing a big part in the spiritual and moral/values development of my children.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh. Sikh Student Camp has been one of the most important, inspiring and amazing experiences i have ever had! That may sound like an exageration but its not!.. The camp is excellent for those who know a little about there religion, or dont know very much at all, but want to know and find out more. I know people who have taken amrit as a result of attending this camp. The camp is inspirational, and emphasizes and expresses the love and beauty that Sikhi is about. The camp also emphasises the respect a sikh shud have for the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and for Sikhi in general. Never have i seen such emphasis made before in any Gurdwara!... Anyone who attends this camp is lucky and blessed!. I would recommend this camp to any young sikh person. The amount i learnt about Sikhi and what i have gained from it in regards to my personal sikhi is invaluable to me. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

What does it mean to be a Sikh? This is just one of the questions I wanted to know the answer to when I went to Sikh Student Camp. I thought it would be quite hard to find the answer but I was mistaken.
Before anyone said anything, the glow in the campers said a lot. Everyone was so friendly and open to discuss anything I wanted to talk about. The atmosphere was perfect. Being based at Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College helped a lot, as all planned events were taking place at the same venue, including the sports events. To learn about Sikhi in such a friendly and happy way was an amazing point I learnt from the camp. Sometimes it seems that religion is only taught and understood in a strict manner, but I can confidently say that this I not the case. The camp made me realise that Waheguru always has His arms open for us, His children. Realising this, I saw how important a lesson camp had taught me. It was all through the hard work and dedication of the camp organisers.
I left camp with a big smile on my face but at the same time with a tear in my heart, as camp was over for the year.
I cannot wait for this year’s camp, as I’m sure it will be yet another great experience.
Chardi Kalla all the way!!!
