Escape the stresses of daily errands and news alerts to enjoy a restorative weekend getaway! Connect with both your family and your community through activities like canoeing, archery, campfires, nature hikes, and communal salat.
The retreat will be held at the beautiful site of Camp Letts on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay— and this year the NWMI community has exclusive use of the entire facility! 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.
A special Saturday evening session led by Sayyid Sulayman , resident scholar of Shah-e Najaf in Alexandria Virginia, will be held for the adults between maghrib and isha prayers. At the same time, educator Mahdi Gharavi will lead a session for the teens. Mahdi is the co-founder of Oasis Educational Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Northern Virginia, providing Islamic education classes for all ages.
There will be a campfire on both nights of the retreat, inshaAllah. Please click the nasheed links below to practice, so you can sing confidently along!
