iLead, an organization founded two years ago by Howard County, Maryland Muslim Ayman Nassar, held its first Spring Camp from April 18-22.
The aim of iLead – which stands for “I Lead through Eman and Application of the Deen” – is to encourage the development of leadership among Muslim youth in the region. The five all day sessions were held at the Islamic Society of Baltimore for about 30 students ages 9 through 15; a shuttle service provided transportation between counties for campers who needed transportation.
The general program consisted of five youth counselors – mostly high school and college age students, a director, and several volunteers. The theme of the camp focused on iLead’s Mission, which is to establish leadership through da’wah. Other themes explored through discussion and activities included Motivation, Patience, Courage, and Taqwa. Physical exercise included dodge ball and outdoor activities.
