We are thrilled to introduce the Don Bosco Camp site, a new venture under the Don Bosco Youth Animation Centre (DBYAC), designed to serve various youth groups, including Scouts, Guides, Junior Red Cross (JRC), National Cadet Corps (NCC), and National Service Scheme (NSS). This camp site was inaugurated on October 3, 2025, by our Rev. Fr. Don Bosco, Provincial INM, in the presence of the evening study centre children and domestic staff.

A DREAM FULFILLED

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Gezuo Foundation for their instrumental role in making this dream a reality. Their generous support has enabled us to establish this state-of-the-art camp site, which promises to be a haven for young people to develop their skills, build their character, and foster their spiritual growth. We also thank our Provincial, Vice Provincial, and Economer for their vision and leadership in visualizing this project.

SPECIAL THANKS

We would like to extend our special thanks to Fr. Leo and Fr. Maria Arokia Raj, whose tireless efforts and dedication were instrumental in helping to get this project approved. Their commitment to youth development and the Salesian mission has been a source of inspiration to us all.
