About Us
Enroll your daughters for learning and fun as the Young Muslimahs’ Summer Camp maximizes the Islamic and academic abilities of our children. This Day Camp is a three-week summer program that serves Muslim girls ages, 6-13.
Summer 2011′s focus was “The Moon”. The moon has been marveled by all of humanity since antiquity. While this miraculous ball in the sky has caught the attention of so many, there is a lot of mention of this timeless wonder in the Quran and ahadith. The moon’s function, which is to provide a guide for our sense of time, and magnificent beauty will be explored during camp. Campers will record moon observations, delve into Islamic literature that incorporates the moon and study the lunar calendar based on the patterns of celestial orbits. These are just a few of the enriching yet exciting activities that will keep our children buzzing with learning and fun this summer.
Participants will become equipped with a strong sense of identity, an increased level of confidence, and an appreciation of Qur’anic knowledge. Students will come to realize that practical Islam can be fun and even more worthwhile than other popular or commercial ways of passing time.
Students will also memorize short chapters [surahs] of the Holy Quran. Memorizing prepares the brain for in-depth learning as well as incurs the blessings of Allah (SWT). Research has proven that rote memorization increases dendritic connections of the brain, which allows for more information to be stored. Just like a refrigerator that has many compartments holds more food; so does the mind retain information when it memorizes. Often, this increase in brain usage significantly impacts students’ performance in all subjects throughout varying academic settings.

What Parents Are Saying
“Much thanks to MCC for introducing ‘Young Muslimahs Summer Camp’; this year- courtesy of Rahmah Foundation. Although the summer camp has just started, my 9yr old not only thoroughly enjoys it but looks forward to (attending) it the following day. I highly recommend and encourage parents of our community to enroll our young Muslimahs in the program. The summer camp is designed in a way that it’s not only filled with Qur’anic knowledge, but also equipped with a strong sense of identity and an increased sense of confidence, for the young participants. No doubt, the teachers & volunteers motivational attitude and infectious enthusiasm makes the program so popular.”
