Summer Camp 2019 Recap!

As we prepare for the 2020 HAFSA GIRLS CLUB SUMMER CAMP, we take a moment to remember the great memories of the 2019 SUMMER CAMP.

We had many amazing girls that participated in our free six weeks camp. New friendships were forged, bonds created, and many life lessons learnt.

 Our goofy science projects were amazing. We made bath bombs, learnt how to inflate balloons with recycled plastic bottles. We used liquid solutions to inflate and maintain air in balloons, and also made beautiful slimes amongst many others.

Our arts and crafts were fantastic. The girls made paper flowers, soft toys from yarn, origami, karaoke and other cool activities. Every day, we read and memorized the Holy Quran (Suratul Hujurat) and some Hadiths; we discussed social, moral and intellectual issues like personal hygiene, bullying, confidence building, total trust in God, overcoming peer pressure amongst many others.

Team bonding

We engaged in many team bonding activities, Zumba dance with instructor, field trips to the cinema, indoor swimming, ice skating and funny but educative trivia questions. For example,

QUESTION          In South Dakota, it is illegal to fall and sleep where?

ANSWER              In a cheese factory.

QUESTION          What ailment disturbs a fruit fly?

ANSWER              Constipation.

QUESTION          In California, you cannot legally buy a mousetrap without having a what?

ANSWER              Hunting license

Above all, the girls were in a safe and positive environment, where they learnt new things and ideas, made friends and lifetime memories. Special thanks to Light Upon Light, Goza Dance Fitness and all the families and friends; the dads, grandmothers, mothers, aunts and volunteers that supported with their time, money and sweat. You are the real MVPS.
