Mustafa Al-Qudah, head of the supervisory board, noted that the camp activities lasted six days and were provided by specialized trainers, focusing on the concept of economic empowerment through intensive training including personal budget management, project business plan preparation, how to obtain financing or loans, and marketing products and services. The activities also included special training on creative design thinking, social entrepreneurship, and freelancing to raise financial awareness, develop entrepreneurial skills, teach small project management, and enhance opportunities for sustainable income sources to economically empower participants to become productive, financially independent, and improve labor market skills such as financial planning and marketing, stimulating initiative and project establishment with links to supporting entities like banks or financing programs.

At the camp’s conclusion, certificates and awards were distributed to participants, with praise for all efforts made to achieve the camp’s goals aimed at developing youth skills to keep pace with contemporary developments.
