What are we going to do?
In camp, a near natural "Swimming Hole" provides fun for all ages with a spacious deck.
A short hike on a scenic trail takes you down the canyon to Big Creek...a beautiful, active stream with historic Pot Holes for swimming, sliding, slipping and a walloping good time. Balsam Creek, tributary of Big Creek, is famous for its waterfalls and "slippery slide."
Playgrounds offer many enjoyable recreational activities for the children as the teens and adults enjoy volleyball, horseshoes, baseball, table tennis, half-court basketball and other group activities. In the evening, an open camp fire adds a warm, friendly glow to the cool mountain air.
There will be recitation of different supplications, prayers, and short speeches on different Islamic topics.
