SAIVA + Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple in Cedar Park Present: Intergenerational Summer Camp 2026! 🌞

We are excited to host to offer a unique Intergenerational Summer Camp where children and older adults come together to learn, connect, and grow.

In today’s fast-paced world, opportunities for meaningful interaction between generations are becoming rare.
Intergenerational programs help children develop empathy, respect, communication skills, and cultural awareness, while older adults experience greater purpose, connection, and joy.
Research shows that these relationships can strengthen communities and create lasting positive impacts for people of all ages.

Camp Highlights:
🧘 Wellness
🎨 Arts & Crafts
🥋 Self-Defense Workshops
💼 Business Workshop
🏥 Healthcare Knowledge
🎭 Drum Session

📅 Sundays | June 7 – July 12, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
👧 Ages 5–12

Post out soon on how to volunteer.

🔗 Registration is only open for a few more days.
