He encourages students to identify and solve problems using AI, highlighting that understanding local needs is crucial for creating new businesses. Emphasizes becoming an AI expert to stay relevant in every field.
The hosts engage campers in a quick activity to stimulate creativity.

Examples include a bangle, a clock, a rope, a mountain, and a samosa, showcasing the diverse thinking of the campers.
Advocate Harshvir Singh raises awareness about common cybercrimes like online fraud, phishing calls, fake job/loan app scams, and cyberbullying. He shares practical precautions such as not sharing OTPs, avoiding unknown links, using strong passwords, and setting social media profiles to private. He advises immediate action if a cybercrime occurs, including calling the helpline (1930) or reporting it on cybercrime.gov.in.
This segment emphasizes the importance of kindness, describing it as small acts that can significantly impact others and ourselves. The hosts discuss how kindness creates happiness, solves personal problems, and fosters positive relationships. They highlight that kindness should start with oneself and that it is contagious, encouraging campers to practice it daily.
Harjeet Kaur shares her personal experience and benefits of 'likhan bhagati' (writing devotion). She explains how writing Gurbani, especially the Mool Mantra and 9th Mahalla's couplets, has brought her immense peace and improved concentration. She encourages children to engage in this practice to develop concentration, patience, and inner peace, likening it to a blessing from the Guru.
The graphic highlights the contrast between seeing the world through eyes of judgment (narrow and dull) versus appreciation (colorful and bright). The hosts discuss how one's perspective dictates what they perceive, encouraging campers to actively seek out good qualities and appreciate their surroundings rather than focusing on flaws. The concept of 'appreciative eyes' is emphasized as a valuable skill.
The hosts read out inspirational messages from campers. Key announcements include the Gurbani Kanth test on June 22nd, 2026, the submission deadline for 'Mauj forms' (joy forms), and pending tasks.

Amarjeet Kaur introduces 'Vadiyaee Vichar' as a 'master key' to life's treasures. She explains that reflecting on one Gurbani shabad daily, as practiced in their 16-year-old online platform, opens doors to qualities like happiness, wisdom, tranquility, and contentment. She emphasizes that this practice goes beyond religious knowledge, teaching life skills, emotional balance, and a path to success and inner peace.
Gurvinder Uncle answers campers' questions. Topics include distinguishing between self-confidence and arrogance, effective time management for various activities (study, family, personal time), overcoming fear of change by embracing it as a constant, and dealing with the fear of failure in competitive exams. He advises focusing on the process, having self-belief and 'God-confidence', and challenging negative thoughts.
A camper asks about the increasing extravagance in weddings and ceremonies despite Sikh teachings on simplicity. Gurvinder Uncle laments the trend of excessive spending driven by societal pressure and the 'what will people say' mentality. He advocates for returning to simple celebrations, highlighting how the money spent could instead be used to support students' education and prevent brain drain in Punjab. He points out that this trend is particularly prevalent in Punjab compared to other regions.
The hosts remind campers that the camp is not ending yet and that there will be a special closing ceremony on the next day, featuring experiences from active campers and past winners.
