Since there are numerous ayāt that encourage us to deeply examine nature, the theme will be “Outdoor Environmental Education.”  Here are some of the activities we have planned. 

  •  Animal senses - Students will discuss the five senses and learn how and why certain animals rely on and utilize those senses. Through a series of sensory games and activities – students will be challenged to imitate animals in order to find food, direction and safety.
  • Birding - Birds common to YMCA Camp Duncan and the Illinois area will be discussed in the class. On a hike around camp, students will locate, identify, and discuss various birds and their habitats. 
  • Bubble Mania - Students will discuss the science of bubbles and specific characteristics of bubbles. Students will then create various bubbles using different bubble makers. 
  • Creatures - Wildlife at YMCA Camp Duncan and the rest of the United States will help students identify which creatures are dangerous and which are not. They will also discuss tracks, habitat, and other signs of creatures. A hike will give students the opportunity to see and witness creatures in nature. 
  • Volcanoes Students will discuss volcanoes; where they are, how they are formed, what they do and how they affect people’s lives. Students will then build their own volcano and watch it erupt. 
  • Water Ecology-  A field study of our YMCA Camp Duncan lake and its individual values and inhabitants. Students will discuss the food cycle, and different aquatic environments. Students will spend time at the lake to gather water samples for observation under a microscope. 
  • Wilderness Survival - The four things essential for survival will be discussed and learned. The students will work to build fires, solve survival situations, and if time permits build shelters. 
  • Group initiatives - Games, challenges, and icebreakers make up this class, which is a great precursor to the Teams Course.
  • Teams course - Students will venture together through a trail of challenges, which can only be accomplished when the group works together. Teamwork, communication, trust, planning, and problem solving will be necessary for the group to succeed. Offered all seasons (some elements limited in winter due to safety considerations).
  • Jumu'ah khutbah and salah at 1:15 PM at the camp.  The khutbah topic will be "When the Earth Speaks Against Us: Environmental Ethics in Islam". Imam Azfar will be the khatib.
