Held from July 21–25, 2026, at Vadtal Dham – Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Wheeling, IL, the LNDYM Camp 2026 brought together youth for five transformative days of spiritual learning, fellowship, and active service. Organized under the agyna of Param Pujya Dharma Dhurandhar 1008 Acharya Shree Ajendraprasadji Maharaj, the Shibir provided a sacred and inspiring space for all participants. The physical presence and guidance of Param Pujya 108 Bhavi Acharya Shree Nrigendraprasadji Maharaj, Param Pujya Shree Vahuji Maharaj, and Santo added immense sanctity to the shibir.
The theme was “Sarva Jiva Hitavah” — Eternal Promise of Welfare, which translates to welfare for all living beings, a key principle from the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan. Yuvaks and Yuvatis took an in-depth look at this motto via various teachings of the Shikshapatri, along with its nuances, and analyzed how all of its teachings, no matter how big or small, can still be applied in their everyday lives. Yuvaks and yuvati’s participated in daily sabhas, interactive workshops, and group discussions aimed at fostering personal growth and core values. Highlights included a dedicated Q&A session with Dharmakul, where youth received practical guidance on navigating everyday life, as well as team-building games, sports, and a vibrant cultural program that built strong bonds of friendship.
LNDYM Camp 2026 concluded with lasting memories, deeper spiritual understanding, and a renewed commitment to the original Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday. Thanks to the selfless dedication of volunteers, organizers, and the blessings of the Dharmakul and Santo, the five-day Shibir proved to be a place for everyone to recharge their spiritual battery and to build momentum for Winter Shibir 2026.
