Camps build capacity

Every school holidays Bahá’ís and their friends hold camps where youth and adults form close friendships as they study Ruhí Institute courses designed to help their self-development and help them contribute more to society. They use music and the arts to express their ideas. At the camps, participants have conversations about real issues that face society and build their capacity to facilitate community-building programs in their neighbourhood. These programs are for all ages — children aged 5-11, junior youth aged 12-15 and adults. An increasing number of the camps are taking place within neighbourhoods themselves, so that they can be tailored to the specific needs of those communities.
