BYC (Buddhist Youth Camp) is a summer Buddhist camp organized by the Jade Buddha Temple in Houston. Thanks to my parents’ persuasion, I participated in their first-ever youth camp in 1993 before starting college.

BYC is an extraordinary summer camp that truly works its magic on everyone who experiences it. It has this inexplicable charm that compelled me to return every summer during my youth. For me, returning after twenty years with my own children was an absolute delight. I witnessed their hearts fill with the same wonder and joy that I had felt during my youth.
