Masjid at-Taqwa organises a Muslim youth camp every summer and has been doing so for the past 16 years.
These camps are held during or close to the summer school holidays for brothers aged 13 and over and also ages 8 and over if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
You can experience a world of new discoveries, hanging out with the brothers, jumping into adventures and pure halal fun here at at-Taqwa Camp! Very few things come close to Masjid at-Taqwa Muslim Youth Camp for connecting with old friends and making new ones.
It’s a time to be outdoors, try new things and enjoy some of the most fun days of the year. Each day of the camp features Islamic talks, lessons and workshops and space for campers to ask the shaykhs any questions about the Deen, youth issues, life challenges and everything!
Our camps typically feature a variety of the following activities depending on the facilities available to us at the campsite and other (including safety) considerations:
Decathlon
Rock climbing
Bonfire
Dawah training
Water slide
Team building exercises
Cricket
Islamic workshops
Lake swimming
Great food
BMX bikes
Other fun activities
