Canoeing
Probably one of the most exciting activities I remember. The lake can almost look overwhelming before you start paddling, but once you're in the water it's all up to you. The first time I canoed was at Kamp, and I remember not wanting to fall in, but sometimes that can be the most thrilling part of it all.

Khalil Khaos
Khalil Khaos is the best part of the weekend. Not only is it challenging and educational, it is tons of fun. My favorite station is "Spot the not". This is one of 3 mental challenge stations. You must compare the two pictures and spot all of the differences between the two pictures. The time clock is ticking so you must work together to beat the clock and your opponent!

Kamp Fire
Smores!!! I can never get enough. The campfire is the best part of the week. I remember the first year Imam Wazir Ali told the stories of the companions of the prophet Muhammad (saws), as we sat around the Kampfire eating our smores. I had never heard anyone describe their personalities and dedication to spreading Islam with so much enthusiasm and passion. Nothing could extinguish that fire. I can’t wait until next time.

Congregational Prayers
I love how we make prayer together 5 times a day at camp. I got to call the adhan for Fajr and lead everybody in Isha prayer. I wish it was this easy to make prayer every day when I am at home. I wish the camp was longer.

Nature Walks
This was my first time camping and my favorite part was the nature walk. I hardly see any trees in my neighborhood. We got a chance to learn about the different types of trees and plants. It felt so good to smell fresh air, see the wild animals, and hear the crickets chirp at night.
