Building Unity, Connection & Friendship at Mt Druitt JY Camp

April 11, 2024, in Videos > News, by

The Australian Baha’i Community has shared a sweet short video about a JY camp in Mount Druitt.

The community in Mount Druitt recently held its March Mounty Movement Junior Youth (JY) Camp, exploring themes such as friendship, intellectual and spiritual excellence, prayer and service to humanity. The camp was dedicated to nurturing a strong sense of identity and values within young people and it also featured sports, arts, games, and food.

You can read more about this camp in an article on Horizons, a website dedicated to the community-building efforts of Australian Baha’is and their friends.

You can find more videos from the Australian Baha’i Community on its YouTube channel.
