The Camp Rabbani brings together Muslim youths (ages 13 to 17) for some fun-filled days of Islamic living, learning and inspirational experiences. Our theme for this year s camp is Attitude for Gratitude. The camp is a 3 days 2 nights camp at the Edventure village, Tanjong Piai Resort, at Pontian, Johore. The breathtaking sunsets of Tanjung Piai EdVenture Village and magnificent sea front provide a very conducive environment for student and teachers to experience challenges, increase awareness and learn more about themselves and others. Tanjung Piai EdVenture Village is located in Pontian, Johore, Malaysia and is a place you must visit due to its many unique features. Geographically, it is the southernmost tip of the Asian mainland. The hinterland of Tanjung Piai offers the rural charms of remote villages, rich in their ethnic and cultural diversity. Tanjung Piai EdVenture Village will give you a chance to experience rural life in proximity and also its natural wonders. The resort is only about 90 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. The camp includes exciting yet enriching programs, motivational workshops, team building games, spiritual and religious enlightenment activities, reflections of Gratitude, practicing the Sunnah and many more!

Please list down in the registration form any medical conditions, allergies or special dietary requirements of the participant. This is to avoid any unnecessary medical emergencies. Also provide details if the participant requires regular medication. We understand that participants may be carrying with them a mobile phone. However, we would be asking all participants to switch off their mobile phones during training sessions. They may only use their mobile phones during breaks and after their lessons or training sessions. If there is a genuine need to contact your child during the period of the camp, please contact any of the following individuals: Sis Saira Elley Bro Mohamed Nassir Mobile: Mobile : Packing for the Camp Rabbani can be an experience by itself for parents and participants alike. Parents should assist their child in packing the necessities for the camp. This not only develops the participant s understanding of what they have brought to camp, but also assists them to develop their skill of packing and enhances their sense of independence and feelings of readiness for the camp. The following is a general guide of what participants should bring: Sports attire (track pants/long slacks) Solat attire (telekung, songkok or prayercap, etc) Slippers Sports shoes Bath towel Toiletries (Toothbrush, toothpaste, small soap) Sweater or light jacket (nights could be cold) Hijab/Scarf or Tudung for girls Smart casual outfits Personal medications Money for personal expenses (app RM50) Participants are strongly discouraged from bringing too much money and valuables (e.g. gold-chains, music players, PSP game, etc) for the camp.

5 Boys Boys must always be attired in long pants, an either short-sleeve or long-sleeve shirts. No shorts, bermudas or singlets are allowed to be worn during any part of the camp. Girls Girls must always be attired in long pants and long-sleeved blouses. The wearing of hijab (or tudung) is highly encouraged throughout the entire duration of the camp. Insha Allah all meals are Halal. We will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner during the duration of the Camp Rabbani, according to the programme shown above. The Camp Rabbani includes 2 nights of overnight accommodation. Participants will be accommodated overnight in resort rooms (not dormitories) at the Tanjong Piai Resort. We would sincerely appreciate if parents could inform us of any pertinent information concerning your child, other than his/her medical conditions. Such information may be invaluable and would assist us to help your child appreciate the camp. Having prior knowledge about an inherent difficulty, recent loss or major change in the family makes a tremendous difference in helping us to be sensitive to your child s need for patience, understanding and reassurance. Because teens and youths often use their behavior rather than their words to communicate something that is bothering them, having advance knowledge of areas that might be difficult for your child helps us understand the message in his or her actions. Our commitment is to use such information with the greatest of discretion. If there is anything we should know about your child, please do not hesitate to let us know personally. Every participant has the right to feel safe in our camp environment. Participants also want to have fun and enjoy themselves during the camp. Thus, we aspire to build an environment that promotes learning in an innovative and fun way. Our hope is to help develop responsible and caring youths within an educationally conducive environment. To this end, we thus expect each participant to behave responsibly with Islamic adab and contribute towards such an environment for the benefit of all participants. Of course, part of the objectives of the camp is to instill upon the teens and youths the finer points of living their life as a young Muslim. Nonetheless, challenges sometimes present itself in problems of conduct and discipline. We would respond appropriately to any situation that creates discomfort or compromise the safety of our participants. As-Siddiq Centre for Islamic Studies Pte Ltd 152 Still Road Singapore Tel: Fax: Websites: info@simplyislam.sg We strongly encourage parents to discuss the issues of positive conduct, discipline and relationship with their child prior to the camp. In so doing, our approaches to discipline management are simply extensions of what has already been reinforced at home. Page 5
