The Khuddam were divided into 8 groups, which competed with one another in sports and educational competitions. These competitions included tilawat, nazm, impromptu speeches, races, basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, soccer and capture the flag.
A detailed schedule was prepared for the students, which closely resembled a day in the life of a Jamia student. After offering the Fajr prayer, the students recited the Holy Quran in the mosque, followed by breakfast and assembly in the Jamia auditorium. Then missionaries taught classes about basic Islamic Jurisprudence, salat with translation, dismantling atheism, and basic Islamic beliefs. In addition, students participated in special activities to enhance brotherhood and teamwork. After offering Zuhr and Asr prayer and eating lunch, the students proceeded to Aiwan e Tahir for sports. Then the students had some time to spend in their hostels before Isha prayers followed by dinner.
Special guest lectures were organized after Isha prayer, which were delivered by notable speakers of the Jama’at. These lectures included talks with respected Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada Tahir Ahmed Sahib, respected National Secretary Tarbiyat Shahid Mansoor Sahib and respected Missionary Shahrukh Abid Sahib. Nights concluded with open group discussions with missionaries in the hostels.
One of the highlights of the camp was a field trip to the Putting Edge center on Wednesday where students participated in Mini Golf. At the end of the camp, students were tested on what they learned during the week with an examination. Throughout the camp, emphasis was given to discipline and at the end of the camp, the best student and best group were recognized.
