Sisters' Camp Retreat
WHAT IS THE SISTERS' CAMP RETREAT?
The Muslim Youth Network's Sisters Retreat is a weekend long summer camp for girls aged 14 to 22 years. It is a full 3 day and 2 night trip packed with rejuvenation of the spirit, strengthening of our faith and a building a deeper connection with nature.
This is achieved through various physical activities such as hiking, archery, rock climbing, boating, and several spiritual activities such as bonfire discussions, brainstorming practical solutions to issues that many Muslims face, and seminars on topics relevant to Muslim girls in today’s society.
The Retreat aims to build a stronger connection between the young women in the community and strengthen their love for Islam. We hope to work together on issues such as self-esteem and confidence as that is a growing concern in today’s society. We would like to achieve this by having them spend time together in a safe, comfortable environment, away from the distractions of the city.
The Muslim Youth Network’s main goal is to bring Muslim women closer to Allah (SWT) and be comfortable with their religious identity.
SAFTEY & ISLAMIC CONCERNS
We are aware that there are many concerns among parents about the safety of an overnight trip. We, the Muslim Youth Network, would like to state that the safety of our sisters and adherence to Islamic guidelines take top priority.
We do everything in our power to arrange for this trip to be as secure and as comfortable as possible. Additionally, the chosen location for the camp has worked with many Muslim organizations before and is familiar with our special needs. MYN especially requests an all-female staff to assist and supervise during the activities. Counsellors, who will be present in each cabin and helping to supervise, are also all female.
All the meals provided will be halal.
The Muslim Youth Network is looking to give opportunities to Muslim girls in the community to better understand their religion and enjoy themselves. We sincerely hope you can help us achieve this goal by joining us for this exciting adventure!
