For Middle School Campers, last week's theme was gratitude. We learned to appreciate our ability to hear, speak, and see through a fun activity. We discussed how privileged we are to have two hands and feet and our necessities. We also made gratitude jars to appreciate the things we have in our everyday lives.
This week's theme is Patience, the kids learned what Sabr is, and the 3 categories of patience. Patience with the decree of Allah (SWT), patience while fulfilling the orders of Allah (SWT), and patience while staying away from what Allah has made impermissible.” Lastly, we learned how to control our emotions and practice patience using the acronym S.T.A.R.
Middle School Girls also made charm bracelets while they talked about adornment in Islam, explaining how the Quran encourages modesty and inner beauty through good deeds and faith.
They also reflected on the idea that while physical adornment can be beautiful, the most important adornment is that of good character and faith.
