Last summer, 18-year old Arshman Damji was handed a plank of wood at Camp Horizons Al-Ummah and was asked to personalise it. On it, he drew what was important to him and created what he considered to be a story of his life.
Forty other students did the same thing. Each plank of wood represented one participant, but together, they were a body of art representing the entire group. Symbolically, Arshman and his camp mates learnt an important lesson in community harmony while acknowledging their individual differences.
Each year, many Ismaili youth from all over North America spend their summers at Ismaili camps like Discovery, Al-Ummah or Camp Mosaic.
via The Ismaili: Ismaili summer camps in North America teach youth about building communities that care.
