These updates are soo
cool ! We didn't have
facebook back in our
time. Miss the trips to
Sitlakhet and Tirthan!! I
still talk about them to
friends about how much
we enjoyed. The
stargazing, the silent
hour, the foreign
trainers we had with us
in Sitla who taught us to
walk on stilts, face
painting, puppetry, all
that. And the awesome
juices we had. And the
haunted house. And the
grave deep down in the
forest. Oh wow! i can
write an article. i have
so much to share and
talk about !!! But really.
you guys are missed by
your alumni!
-Youreka Alumni
Thank you so much team Youreka for
a wonderful experience that you have
given to the kids. My son Mitansh (P2)
is all gaga about all the instructor
"sirs n mam". Thank u so much! He
had a time of his life. (Though he
confessed being scared during one of
the activities but said that he wants
to collect the badge of determination
next time!). I feel this experience has
made him stronger n more
independent. He says he wants to go
again and soon!!! Looking forward for
the next adventures!!!
-Mother of Mitansh
The word YOUREKA changed my life
completely.The first word that comes to my
mind on hearing 'Youreka' is 'Adventurous
Fun'. Youreka is not just a company that
provides Summer Camps but lifetime
experience.It taught me that you can't live
caring about everything and thinking too
much. It taught me that sometimes u just
gotta do it... Just gotta let go of that scared
attitude.My friends say that I am changed to
what I was before going to Youreka. Now I'm
more open to challenges and never give up
on life situations. I simply owe this change
to YOUREKA.
Why are you busy reading this.. Go..!!! Just
go and experience it and don't forget to
share your YOUREKA MOMENT!!!
-Youreka Alumni
Thanks a lot team
Youreka for looking
after the kids so well,
my kids Sukhmani &
Shreya in the P2 ODS,
had a great time in the
camp, it was for the
first time ever they
had gone so far from
me to a place where
they were not
supposed to have any
contact with the
parents for 7 days, yet
they were so happy
-Mother of
Sukhmani & Shreya
Had an awesome week at Youreka!
Seriously guys, you made my summer
vacations more enjoyable and sent me with
lots of thrilling experiences which i will
never ever forget in my life!. YOUREKA
ROCKS!!!
-Youreka Alumni
I will miss waking to the river’s voice,
sitting with your friends, listening to them
play the guitar, singing along with them,
everything…
-Youreka Alumni
A Big THANK YOU!! to Team Youreka. Our kids have come back
Happy, More Confident and Determined!! And have already
decided to go again, next summer! It has been a great and
positive experience for them and us too!!
