Sessions I meets Monday through Thursday with the following schedule*:
| 9:30 am | Discussion/Songs/Stations of Quran and Arabic** |
| 11:00 am | Snack Break |
| 11:15 am | Writing/Performance |
| 12:30 pm | Pick-up |
* Frankfort's session will begin at 10:00am and end at 1:00pm.
** Stations are a means to dividing the campers into three sections. Each section rotates among the three stations. Quran, Arabic, and Dua' are the three areas of focus; each focus is given a station. Thus, each camper is taught the three focus areas.
This Summer’s 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 countries underserved. 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.
Science**
Eating starts with the digestive system. Hands on experiments gives us a closer look at how beautiful this system is and Who the Creator of it is. Who can stand up to the challenge of making their own workable systems? Let’s see who can take on the challenge and succeed.
Math**
Plastic bowls, pie slices, sticks of butter, and measuring cups. What do they all have in common? The answer is a math lesson on fractions and ratios. Did you know that deeds are countable, added, subtracted, multiplied, and carried over? How do we achieve the sum of zero in bad deeds and exponentially multiply our good deeds?
Social Science**
Fast food puts us on the fast track to problems. Let’s speed up on sending our good deeds to Allah (swt) through knowing what, when, and how to eat. Creating collages of eating secrets from around the world will make our fast and packaged style of eating seem tasteless.
*Each content area will incorporate various grade level appropriate activities.
Quran Reading and Memorization
The camp will include devoted time to recitation and memorization of the Holy Quran. Students will be divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, based on ability.
Beginner level students will learn the Arabic alphabet, memorize simple surahs, and understand basic Arabic vocabulary.
Intermediate level students will read the Holy Quran, write 3-5 letter words, and memorize surahs with their meanings.
Advanced level students will memorize larger surahs and understand basic Quranic vocabulary.
SNACK
All students will be required to bring a snack from home.
