Teen Program

Al-Bustan Camp gives high school students an opportunity to participate in a highly engaging full-day program that includes video, music, drama, art, and Arabic language instruction. The teen program is a 3-week commitment. Please contact us to inquire about volunteer counselor/camper opportunities for 11th and 12th graders.

New in 2010: ANIMATION. . .Have Your Say!

60 seconds.  They’ll listen, what do you want to say?

What would you say about who you are and the issues that effect you?  In Al-Bustan’s animation program, campers get to participate in a half-day program in which they work together to conceive, edit and produce one minute stop-motion video Public Service Announcements. Led by digital designer Ayman Alalao, campers will explore sound and video editing, photography, sculpture, drawing, and painting.

Arabic

Language instruction is an integral part of the Camp experience.  Through daily 45-minute Arabic sessions, teen campers have structured exposure to the Arabic language that focuses on practical spoken Arabic related to the topics covered in their arts program.

Music, Drama, and Art

Along with the video program, teens have other means of creative self-expression through 2-hours of music, drama, and art which are offered on a rotating weekly basis by master teaching artists.
