Our mission
Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where youth have the opportunity to deepen their faith in our spiritual path, strengthen former friendships and create new ones, imbibe values that can be carried through daily life, develop a positive service attitude, and have unforgettable fun throughout the whole journey.
We are so excited to bring you Camp Ignite. Join us for fun-filled days of water sports, group discussions, team building activities, and much more! From swimming to late night bonfires, Camp Ignite offers numerous ways to have fun while keeping Krishna in the center.
Throughout this trip, the kids will be playing sports, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, taking hikes, participating in epic kirtans, and indulging in some of the best prasadam ever! Camp Ignite gives kids the opportunity to meet kids from different states with similar interests and provides a chance to create friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Hare Krishna! My previous experience as a camp counselor and camp organizer has 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!

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.

Ansh Aggarwal
Haribol! My name is Ansh Aggarwal and I’m from Reading, Pennsylvania! I’m 20 years old and currently go to Penn State, studying Applied Data Science with a minor in Economics. I’m so excited to be involved with camp ignite this year, especially after 6 years!
My first Camp Ignite allowed me to meet so many youth that shared the same passion for Krishna consciousness, allowing me to fully grasp the concept of Sadhu Sanga - whether it be camping or temple! I’m so excited to bring that same passion and energy back to you all, and ready for Camp ignite 2025! Get ready for friendships, bonfires, kirtans, sangas, and s’mores!
Anisha Aggarwal
Haribol! My name is Anisha Aggarwal and I’m from Pennsylvania. I am 20 years old studying Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Outside of school, I love to spend time with my friends, cook, crochet, and do kirtan!
Camp Ignite was one of the most impactful experiences of my life because of the lessons I learned: Spiritual life can be so much fun when you share it with friends and you can center your passion and interests around Krishna! Also, I could never forget how much I loved disconnecting from the world to be in nature, playing volleyball in the lake, and eating s’mores :)
Gaurang
Hare Krishna, My name is Gauranga and I am from ISKCON of Delaware. I’m a Pre Med student at the University of Delaware. My favorite things to do are to travel and do kirtan.
I’ve attended Camp Ignite in the past for two years as an attendee and it was an amazing experience. Camp Ignite helped me connect and open up to many youth from across many different states. Camp help me make many new friendships that I have kept for many years for now and it also brought me closer to the devotee community. On top of that, the organizers would always have many wonderful activities planned for all of us, ranging from arts and crafts to water fun to outdoor games. Prasadam was always amazing even in the middle of the woods. Overall the sanga was a wonderful experience that really helped me connect and grow with others!
