The Hindu Students Council (HSC), North America’s largest independent pan-Hindu youth organization will present the 36th annual HSC Camp, taking place over Thanksgiving weekend from November 26 to November 29, 2026.
The annual retreat will gather college students, recent alumni, and young professionals from chapters across North America for a weekend dedicated to exploring Hindu Dharma, building leadership skills, and fostering lifelong friendships in an uplifting, natural setting.
Founded in 1990, HSC has empowered young Hindus on college campuses for over three decades. The 2026 November Camp offers participants a chance to hit pause on academic stress and engage in a rich program of intellectual, spiritual, and social activities.
The cam programs include interactive workshops and discussions, leadership and networking, yoga and mindfulness activities, along with cultural celebrations and team building.
“HSC Camp provides a vital safe space where students can discuss and learn about their culture and faith. High school and college experiences shape who we are and we get to experience it together through so many events, pujas, and activities with likeminded individuals,” said Arushi Ramaka, HSC President. “We gain a sense of confidence, knowledge, and community support we need to proudly represent our Dharma on their campuses.”
It will take place at Indian Springs State Park in Flovilla, GA. Eligibility: College students, high school seniors, recent graduates, and young professionals. Registration is now open.
Over 350,000 students and youth have participated in HSC activities since its inception in 1990. HSC is the oldest independent Hindu youth organization outside of India, serving high school and university chapters across North America.
