Alhamdulillah by the grace of the almighty we have thus far successfully completed the first week of the Sweden camp 2007. The past week has been an extremely challenging and yet greatly satisfying experience for all the mentors and support staff alike and has given me the chance to build new effective relationships with the campers themselves.

We as mentors have had to endure a tough schedule with a well structured timetable coupled with long thorough nightly meetings, all of which have led us to be fully stretched to the limits of our potential to ensure that the campers develop and strive towards excellence in every field.  

I personally have loved interacting with all the campers and getting to know their very divergent and yet exciting personalities and it gives me great and immense satisfaction to see the remarkable progress that so many have campers have thus far made and yet it has only been one week!!

I have come to realise that there are so many hidden talents and potentials within all the campers which they are oblivious to, simply because they previously have not had or taken the opportunity to go outside their “comfort zone” in many fields. It has been during this camp that all the campers have been made to move outside their comfort zones and embark upon new challenges, which has made many realise abilities they did not know they had.

Credit has to go to the administration, who have worked tirelessly through sleepless nights to ensure that the camp runs smoothly for the campers “journey towards excellence”. May Allah (SWT) reward them with countless blessings without measure and give us all the strength and ability to help the campers excel to new heights inshallah.
