The
traditional arts and crafts and architectural heritage of the
Arab/Muslim world are the focus of various hands-on projects that
are integrated each year with the camp theme.
Below
is a sample art project made in 2006: linoleum cuts depicting
animals for each letter of the alphabet, made by campers, counselors
and staff. Also,
two new t-shirt designs were made by art teacher, Hamdi Attia:
one highlighting the Arabic alphabet and the other of Um Kulthum,
reflecting the 2006 theme which was about exploring the Egyptian
city and countryside through the life story of the preeminent
Egyptian singer, Um Kulthum who grew up in the Nile delta and
gained her fame in Cairo and around the world.
