Fakhoora Summer Camp is a great success!
85 Fakhoora students have just returned from a wonderful time at their summer camp, courtesy of Al Fakhoora’s Scholarship program.
A month before the camp, preparations had begun for the activities; everything from the collection of props, materials and equipment to the planning of the positions of leaders and participants in the competitions had been considered before arrival at camp on the first day.
The students gathered into different groups and played ball games, worked on design projects and rehearsed their play during the camp, before presenting their hard work to their friends as the weekend drew to a close.
There was plenty of fun and good-natured competition throughout the weekend, and everyone got involved.
From games of Chess and sprinting races, to poetry and music recitals and puzzles; old friendships were made stronger, new friendships were made, old skills were built and new skills were learned.
Everyone agreed that the camp had been loads of fun and really useful in lots of different ways. The exhibition of the wonderful drawings that expressed life for the students was very impressive, and it was agreed by everyone that the creative process had been really great in expressing the difficulties they live with, alongside the wonderful things about their lives, families and friends.
The music, fun and laughter was a much-needed boost for everyone’s morale. We are already looking forward to the next one!...
