Event Details

 

This Summer Day camp runs Tuesday through Friday; 10:00 - 1:00 pm.  This is our second Summer, and our  focus  will be “nourishing food, nourishing spirit”. Students will look at food from a mathematical, scientific, and global perspective. Inculcating science, math, and social studies into the study of food is seamless when students engage in activities such as calculating measurements in no-bake recipes.  Students will research and understand the various types of foods from various countries. Students will understand that healthy eating is the Sunnah while acquiring an empathy for underserved countries. Through structured lesson plans surrounding the theme of nourishing food, students, Insha’Allah, will understand how proper eating connects us to ourselves, to our Muslim brethren from around the globe, and to our Creator. Participants will become equipped with a strong sense of identity, an increased level of confidence, and an appreciation of Quranic knowledge. Students will come to realize that practical Islam can be fun and even more worthwhile than other popular or commercial ways of passing time.

Students will also memorize short chapters [surahs] of the Holy Quran. Memorizing prepares the brain for in-depth learning as well as incurs the blessings of Allah (SWT). Research has proven that rote memorization increases dendritic connections of the brain, which allows for more information to be stored. Just like a refrigerator that has many compartments holds more food; so does the mind retain information when it memorizes. Often, this increase in brain usage significantly impacts students’ performance in all subjects throughout varying academic settings.. Visit us!

Camp Busy Bees



Camp Busy Bees is a camp that exposes Muslim youth from all areas of Chicago to Quran, hadith, and dua' memorization. The purpose of this camp is to give Muslim youth the opportunity to maximize their inherent Islamic and academic capabilities through educational activities that bridge secular education with discussion of Allah (swt). We hope to provide Muslim youth an outlet in which they can create life-long bonds, memorize Quran, and find a practical application of Islam in their everday life.
