Enroll your daughters (sons at Schaumburg only) for learning and fun this summer as “Camp Busy Bees” maximizes the Islamic and academic abilities of our children. This Day Camp is a four-week summer program that serves Muslim Youth entering grades 1st through 8th. This summer’s focus will be “going green”. Students will connect with their home, the Earth, by engaging in activities that foster a love for nature. Students will learn how to take care of the environment while seeing how this concept is such a vital component of Islam and is in accordance with our Sunnah. Collaboration across grade levels will be encouraged and implemented. Through structured lesson plans surrounding the theme of recycling and taking a closer look at an old neighbor, birds, students will culminate the unit of study by writing and performing their own skits. From making bird feeders to designing bags that prevent waste, arts and crafts is embedded in our camp. Insha’Allah, 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.
