BIBD Camp Generation Y

After receiving overwhelming response from the country’s first ever endurance sports challenge for youths called “BIBD Cabaran – Anak Brunei 2009”, Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee/initiatives has announced to organize its first youth camp ‘BIBD Camp Generation Y’.

The youth camp targeted for teenagers between the ages of 12 to 16 years will be the first of its kind in Brunei where camp participants will have to put their skills and endurance to the test. The camp, which will be held from December 10 – 12, 2010, will adopt a concept similar to that of the “BIBD Cabaran – Anak Brunei 2009”.

As an outreach programme for the youth, ‘BIBD Camp Generation Y’ aims to encourage Bruneian youth to test their ability in developing leadership, teamwork, competence and endurance skills upon completing each task arranged for the camp participants. It is also a platform for BIBD to instill and nurture high values among the younger youths thus providing them with proper guidance for their future.

Most of the activities arranged will be focused on harnessing the youths’ leadership and teambuilding skills. The camp activities will concentrate primarily on the five important pillars of the camp which is Economy, Education, Information Technology, Environment and Leadership.

Other exciting activities have also been lined up for the camp participants throughout the three days such as team building workshops, dialogues on self improvement, endurance games, an Awards Night as well as a treat to camp participants.

'BIBD Camp Generation Y’ is open to all Brunei Citizens and Permanent Residents, aged between 12 to 16 years and is studying at ANY private and government schools in Brunei.
