The programme encompasses various aspects, such as education, mental and physical skill development, and the nurturing of religious, social and national values. Additionally, the programme features sports and recreational activities like matches and mental as well as physical games that contribute to enhancing cognitive and physical abilities. Team spirit is reinforced through collaborative games, fostering new friendships.
The camp’s administration has thoughtfully integrated field visits into the programme, introducing participants to Katara’s facilities, particularly those related to heritage. The organisers also emphasised the significance of maintaining discipline, cooperation and congregational prayers within the camp’s atmosphere.

The Qatari Ardha training, provided by Nomas Center, is one of the most important activities that the participants enjoy. It connects them with their heritage and the customs and traditions of Qatar.
