Date: August 19th to August 22nd, 2005
Place: Dar-ul-Tawhid, Mississauga
Age Group: 14 to 22 (brothers only)

What: The camp focuses on the moral training of the Muslim youth, and especially the need to be involved in the community. Through this program, we hope to activate a change in the attendees. The primary theme of the camp is “Bringing Positive Change – Around Us, Within Us”.

Over the four days, we will invite several speakers and scholars to enlighten us on various topics. We will also have sports and other physical activities throughout the program to keep a balance. Plus, there will be three meals served (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). So join us, and learn how we can change ourselves and the society around us for the better!

Halaqas [Youth Study Circles]

These study circles, being our most essential gatherings, provide a chance for you to get involved in our activities, meet the brothers/sisters personally, and get to know new people. As a stepping-stone for getting active, our study circles provide a positive environment for brothers and sisters to learn more about our Deen, and our approach to the Qur'an. We would like to invite you to join a study circle that is happening near you!

help with your job search. Write to us today at academics@youngmuslims.ca for resume critiquing and job search help.

Social Development Projects

Every three to four months, volunteers get together to donate blood to Canadian Blood Services. Volunteers also get together and head to the streets, where we provide food to the homeless living on the streets of GTA.

We also have our Orphan Sponsorship Project, through which, with the help of ICNA Relief, we are currently sponsoring 12 Muslim orphans in Kenya. Although the cost for sponsoring a child is $30/month, you can donate as little as $5 per month!

If you are interested in joining these or any other projects that promote social justice and helping others in need, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@youngmuslims.ca for more info, or visit our website at www.youngmuslims.ca.
