Al-Qadisiyah, June 29 (Petra)– Deputizing for HRH Crown Prince Al
Hussein bin Abdullah II, Minister of Youth Raed Adwan launched the
Al-Hussein Camps for Work and Construction 2026 on Monday.

Organized by the Ministry of Youth under the slogan “Independence
80,” this year’s summer program will engage over 32,000 young men and
women across the kingdom.

The opening ceremony, held at the Al-Qadisiyah Youth Hostel in the
Tafileh Governorate, was attended by senior governorate, security,
and civil society officials.

The event featured the inauguration of a new adventure and obstacle
field at the Al-Qadisiyah facility, designed to provide specialized
tactical training, abseiling, and physical fitness challenges aimed
at fostering leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills among
participants. Al-Adwan toured various training stations, which
included demonstrations in taekwondo, boxing, self-defense, first
aid, and scouting techniques.

Running from June 27 to August 27, the program will span 978
individual camps tailored for youth aged 12 to 30. Executed in
partnership with national, security, and international organizations,
the curriculum offers both daytime and overnight formats.

Day camps hosted at local youth centers will focus on community
service, environmental volunteerism, traffic awareness, scouting,
national history narrative, disaster response training, and community
mural creation.

The central overnight camps will offer specialized training in
community initiative design, digital entrepreneurship, cultural
tourism trails, adventure challenges, mental health awareness, and
peacebuilding partnerships.

For the first time, the Ministry of Youth has introduced a dedicated
camp track for expatriate Jordanian youth visiting the kingdom during
the summer, aiming to strengthen their ties to their homeland and
integrate them into national youth development projects.
