Super! EYLC Adventure Begins

Day 1 begins with a bang!

The first day activities focused on the campers choosing their camp names, knowing each other, and creating their group norms for working together. The campers also listened to an inspiring talk on Islamic Leadership.

A special session was held for the mentors of the participants in order to equip them with additional ideas on how to nurture the young leaders.
