Camp Kudrat: Being Fully Sikh in a Room That Gets It
USM Team
An immersive Sikhi retreat in nature — nitnem, kirtan, and sangat — and for many campers, the first time being fully Sikh among people who feel the same.
Camp Kudrat is an annual immersive Sikhi retreat in nature. Campers disconnect from daily life and reconnect with Gurmat through nitnem, kirtan, workshops, and sangat.
For many students it is the first time being fully Sikh in a room full of people who feel the same way — a kind of belonging that is hard to find on a busy campus.
One camper shared that after Camp Kudrat they began doing Kirtan Sohila before sleeping and were able to let go of their anxiety medication; when their parents saw the change, they too started walking the Sikh path. Stories like that are why the camp exists.
