About Camp Kudrat

 

Camp Kudrat is more than just a camp - it is a transformative spiritual retreat for Sikhs (18+) to reconnect with their faith and identity regardless of where they are on their journey towards Maharaj. Students dive into engaging workshops, meaningful discussions, and hands-on seva, all designed to deepen their connection to Sikhi.

Attendees have the opportunity to engage in discourse on relevant topics like The Meaning and Purpose of Raags, The Sikh Lens on Marriage, Staying Grounded in Sikhi Through Life Transitions, and Mental Health in Sikhi. Throughout the weekend, all attendees are encouraged to participate in learning how to take the Hukamnama, or Maharaj’s message of the day, do Prakash and Sukhaasan, make Degh (prashad), and other notable sevas we see taking place at the gurdwara. 

Camp Kudrat has attracted the attention of and welcomed renowned and widely respected Sikh scholars and community leaders throughout the years, including and not limited to:

 

Kirtani, Bhai Anantvir Singh Ji

Kirtani, Bhai Harlove Singh Ji

1st American-born Parcharik from Basics of Sikhi, Bhai Supreet Singh Ji - Excited for his attendance this year!

Author of Phulkari, Bibi Harman Kaur Ji

USM Vision

 

United Sikh Movement (USM) strives to strengthen the Sikh community by providing a combination of spiritual resources and personal development opportunities to help foster the next generation of Sikh leaders. USM grounds its projects and structures in four principles centered around…

Simran (Spirituality), Seva (Philanthropy), Sangat (Community), and Academics

USM unites Sikh individuals through comprehensive community building, philanthropy, and self improvement. Furthermore, we provide students opportunities to engage critically on issues pertaining to Sikhi, to incubate and inspire present and future Panth leaders.

 

How can you support Camp Kudrat?

 

Be the bridge to Sangat! 

Sponsor a student to attend Camp Kudrat for $150- this safe space for support and guidance takes place every Spring, and this year, it will be on April 18th-21st in Cambria, CA. 

With your generous support, you can fund an immersive spiritual experience for a Sikh student. Oftentimes, students move away from their comfortable space for university- their local Sangat, their gurdwara, their high school friends, their family - and participating in invaluable camps like this one keep our youth grounded and confident on their journey towards Maharaj. 

     

 

Testimonials: There is so much to love about Camp Kudrat...

 

Aman Singh, Sac State, Camp Kudrat 2024

"Attending Camp Kudrat last year was nothing short of eye-opening. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of peace surrounded by the ocean and the natural beauty of the campsite... Every session was filled with valuable lessons, leaving me with new insights to carry forward in my journey. Most importantly, Camp Kudrat helped me connect with Maharaj and Sikhi at a level I had never experienced before.

It was an unforgettable experience that I’ll cherish forever."

 

Sanjot Singh, Stanford University, Camp Kudrat 2024

"Camp Kudrat was such a refreshing and meaningful experience! It gave me the perfect opportunity to step away from the fast-paced world and reconnect with my spiritual roots. The atmosphere was so welcoming—filled with inspiring speakers, deep discussions, and an incredible sense of Sangat...

Whether you’re looking to learn, reflect, or just find inner peace, this camp is a must-attend!"
