Instructions to Participants (Please read fully):

We ask all youth to be respectful and adhere to the camp rules, as set forth by the camp committee and MAS. There will be organized games, hiking trips, meals, workshops, prayers, etc. Adhering to the rules will ensure that the camp is enjoyed by all.

Youth will be divided into groups and assigned a group leader. Youth are required to follow their group leader instructions. Sisters are highly encouraged to wear their Hijab throughout the camp.

This camp is an opportunity for youth to develop a strong Muslim identity, make new friends, learn about teamwork, and more. We ask the youth to come prepared to experience and benefit from this different camping environment.

MAS expects participants to follow camp instructions and be respectful to all participants. If any youth exhibits behavior disruptive to the camp, s/he will be given a warning. Any further disruption will require the parent to pick up the youth immediately.
