Camp Discovery
Camp Discovery is a 5-day day camp, from Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, for ages 6-9, held at a Jamatkhana with a field trip mid-week.
Camp Discovery is changing and will now be offered as a 5-day day camp. Camp Discovery will continue to be held at a Jamatkhana and will run from Monday to Friday, with a field trip mid-week. Participants will be split into age groups (ages 6-7 and 8-9) during the day to ensure age and development appropriate camp delivery. In some centres, there are two sessions being offered. Participants can only register for one session.
Through an activity-based curriculum, participants have an opportunity to learn through play, sports, and arts, and form great friendships with their peers. Participants will engage in various activities and field trips which encourage greater understanding of themselves, their communities and the ethics and values of the Ismaili Muslim faith. In addition, concepts such as pluralism, the environment, cooperation, mindfulness, and bullying are explored. Here, memories are created that define summer breaks.
Camp Discovery aims to:
- Develop the participants’ sense of identity, and its multiple dimensions (e.g., family, age, gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, etc.)
- Instill pride in themselves and the global Ismaili/Muslim community
- Encourage creativity and self-expression in a variety of forms
- Develop an understanding of the importance of regular exercise and healthy living
- Develop skills around resiliency and self-esteem through mindfulness and growth mindset activities
- Encourage appropriate peer interaction through collaborative tasks and problem-solving activities
