Activities! Carmel has something for everyone
Besides studying, role-playing and talking with others
during classes, you'll go to morning devotions in the lodge, enjoy
crafts, sports and group games in the field, entertaining evening
programs, and just hanging out with your friends. And at night, you'll
bunk in cabins with other young women or men your own age.
Carmel's Cabin Counselors
Carmel’s students are led by mature, deepened Baha'i
youth counselors, trained to serve as guides and mentors
for the students in their cabins. Counselors lead their cabins
through the transitions and routines of daily life at Carmel, from wake-up
to lights out, and actively seek out ways to promote bonding and
group unity in their cabins. During evening cabin time, counselors
lead prayers and group consultation, with a big focus on the
issues facing youth today, like how to apply the principles of the Faith
to your everyday life.
Even the Dawn-breakers had spiritually invigorating retreats.
