Registration is now open for NWMI’s Fall Family Retreat: In the Footsteps of the Prophet!
Escape the stresses of daily errands and news alerts to enjoy a restorative weekend getaway. In honor of the Prophet’s birthday, our focus will be on using his example for spiritual growth and self development through a variety of introspective and interactive programming. Connect with both your family and your community through activities like canoeing, archery, campfires, nature hikes, and communal salat. MashaAllah we are blessed to have Imam Hicham Hall leading inspirational programming on Saturday evening, using the Prophet’s life, teachings and actions as guidance.
The retreat will be held at the beautiful site of Camp Letts on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Halal meals, sleeping accommodations and all activities are included in your registration. Campers will sleep in air-conditioned cabins, divided by gender and age. Family rooms, with shared bathrooms, are available for those with small children. We have rented a private meeting space for both activities and prayer.
The retreat begins on Friday evening with Nasheeds and halal s’mores around the campfire. Please listen to the following - so you will be ready to sing along with us! A full list will be sent to those who register.
