Some activities also incorporate financial literacy, which enhances academic development in a non-traditional way.
We are committed to ensuring that all our activities are rooted in experiential learning, where each activity is tied to clear learning outcomes and practical life skills. We also conduct regular assessments to measure how well students have acquired these skills and how they relate to their future academic and personal goals.
"The activities place students in situations that require decision-making, taking responsibility, and dealing with real-life challenges, fostering independence and resilience. The camp also includes awareness and community programs that encourage students to think beyond themselves and engage with issues affecting the world around them.”
Al Saadi noted that although the camp was primarily designed for QF students, deliberate efforts were made to involve students from other schools across the country. This approach aimed to broaden the program’s social impact, promote inclusivity, and encourage the exchange of educational experiences.
