Dharmaadhaaraa conducted the first ever two week Summer enrichment program. The first week, the children did a unit on Sacred geography, learnt nadi Stotras and did a project on each of the Punyanadis of Bharatam and learnt about some kshetras along these nadis. They also learnt Warli Art and Bottle Art from Smt. Sudha Ramamurthi of Delaware. They also took breaks to play some traditional games using cowrie shells (சோழி) and some Pallanguzhi/Mancala

During the second week, the children started the day with a one hour session of Namasankirtanam taught beautifully by Mudikondan Dr. R. Sundararaman. They learnt the Pundarikams, Todayamangalam, Namavalis. Then they got an introduction to Bharatiya Lipis and revised their Devanagari and got introduced to Sharada Lipi (we learnt the vowels, got to the beginning of consonants). On the practical side, they were taught a simple laghupujapaddhati and how to offer arghyam to Surya. They also learnt Gauridashakam.

High Schooler Bhavya Guru, a dedicated student of Samskrtam and also studying in the SAFL Samskrtam course for high schoolers taught the children some vocabulary, practised some sambhashana samskrtam with them.
