A camp they'll never forget —
on the Quran and Sunnah.
Al Khaadem Youth Camp has been organised since the 1980s — by the youth, for the youth. The goal is to instill Islamic values and adab in a fun and holistic way.
Every year carries its own theme, its own mountain, its own week of caving, paddy fields and late-night halaqah. What never changes is the foundation: the values and goals outlined in the Qur'an and the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The Great Houses
of AKYC
On the first night of camp, every participant is drafted into one of the four Houses. For the rest of the week they cook, climb, compete and pray as one — and carry the House's honours long after the week ends.
