The main objective of the youth camp was to create an awareness in Australian/Indian Hindu youths about cultural values; to create an appreciation of the excellence of our ancestors in various aspects of knowledge since vedic times; bring in a sense pride of about our country of origin and an awareness of spirituality as a state of mind to lead a balanced life. The camp was also aimed at cultivating in the young mind the social skills like goal setting, team spirit, leadership skills etc and desire to do social service and conserve of the local eco system.

India 's true history, her glorious past, our rich culture and true meaning of our religion have been lost /destroyed due to various factors in the last millennium. Even though there are many groups of scholars who are excavating, repossessing and reviving our heritage there has not been enough public education on this. As a result we have only fragmented knowledge and many a times we question our own values and culture. In order to overcome this situation, group discussions are planned so that we become well educated on our culture, feel proud about our heritage and pass on the knowledge and pride to our children.

Vishva Hindu Parishad of Australia Inc. (VHP) is authorised by the Director-General's Consultative Committee on SRE, Department of Education and Training to teach special Religious Education on Hinduism in all NSW schools.
