On October 10, 2019, the English Club organized an enriching camping trip to Al-Souda, infusing the adventure with educational and community-focused aspects. The enthusiastic members embarked on an invigorating 10-kilometer trek into the mountains, followed by a cozy evening under the stars, roasting marshmallows and sharing anecdotes from their academic journey. Faisal Al-Fadhil, the Director of the English Club, not only supervised the event but also provided a safety net by keeping his 4x4 pickup ready for support and potential emergency services. He appreciated the event's multifaceted nature, stating, "This event offered a perfect blend of physical activity, English practice, and community service."

Embracing the spirit of community service, the ambitious participants started the next morning with a commendable initiative. They spent several hours cleaning up the trails and nearby areas, leaving the picturesque setting in better condition than they found it. Their efforts were duly recognized by Dean Abdullah Al-Melhi, who commended the English Club for undertaking such a valuable endeavor. This event not only underscored the club's commitment to environmental stewardship but also exemplified their dedication to fostering a sense of community among its members.
