Indiana Baha'i Summer School

Sat. August 2 – Tues. Aug. 5.

Theme: Learning in Action — The Five Year Plan

School attendees will be able to choose from several “learning tracks.”
One will be training in “Anna’s Presentation”, with the opportunity to practice direct teaching, joining Indianapolis’ IPG!

Other tracks include an introduction to Ruhi Books 1 and 2, with sections especially for friends of the Faith, on sharing prayers and deepening themes; and a refresher on Book 4, focusing on story-telling relating to the lives of the Twin Manifestations. These tracks may also offer opportunities for off-campus home visits.

Location: Cary Boy Scout Camp, Lafayette – Situated on more than 130 beautiful wooded acres, the camp borders the Wildcat Creek and affords many nature activities.

Recreation: hiking trails, grassy areas for sports, outdoor swimming, basketball court, and our Annual Family Field Day on Sunday afternoon

Accommodations Separate air-conditioned cabins for men and women, an air-conditioned dormitory for women and children, many acres upon which to pitch tents, and many off-site hotels for those who require less rustic accommodations (off-site costs not included in camp fees). We serve three meals per day, along with snacks and desserts (including s’mores at the nightly campfire). Most classes are held indoors, in air-conditioned cabins or classrooms, but teachers may opt to have class outside, depending on the weather.

Registrar: Sarah Dinkens, at INBSRegistrar@yahoo.com
