Strengthening Students' Religious Character through Perkaju (Thursday Friday Camp Activities) at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sumberrejo

Abstract : This research aims to explore the strengthening of students’ religious character through Thursday-Friday Camp (Perkaju) activities at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sumberrejo. The program is designed to instill religious values, such as discipline, cooperation, responsibility, and religious observance through an interactive and practical approach. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that Perkaju is an effective medium in integrating religious values into students’ lives through activities such as congregational prayers, Islamic studies, and habituation of noble morals. This program not only enhances students’ relationship with God (hablum minallah) but also with fellow humans (hablum minannas). With a habituation and exemplary approach, the program succeeds in building students’ religious character that is balanced between spiritual and social aspects.
