Al-Bustan Camp gives high school students an opportunity to participate in a highly engaging full-day program that includes video-making, singing, art, poetry, 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.
Video
What would you say about who you are and the issues that effect you? In Al-Bustan’s video program, campers get to participate in 3 to 4-hour sessions each day in which they work together to conceive, edit and produce a collective video that speaks to issues of interest to them. The discussions will begin with media analyses and exploration of some issues relevant to Lebanese youth and how they relate to campers’ experiences in America.
Art, Music, and Poetry
Along with the video program, teens have other means of creative self-expression through daily sessions in art, and alternating sessions of percussion and poetry.
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.
