Summer Camp & Weekend Classes

A summer camp for ages 6–16, boarding or mornings, and Saturday classes for ages 8–18 through the school year.

Summer camp

Every summer the mosque runs a camp for boys and girls aged 6 to 16, teaching Qur’an and fiqh through the long break. Families choose between boarding for the week or coming in for the mornings — both groups sit the same lessons, together, in the middle of the day.

The camp runs through the whole of July and the first half of August. Exact start and end dates are published on this page closer to the time.

Once or twice over the six weeks the whole camp goes out together — a picnic or a day trip. Boarders and morning students go on the same outings.

Certificates at the end of camp, in the main prayer hall.

Evenings for boarders

The shared day ends at 2:30. Boys who board stay on: two further lessons of forty-five minutes each, the remaining prayers in congregation, and time set aside for games and activities before the night. Four nights a week, Monday to Friday.

Through the school year, from October to May, we teach the same subjects one day a week: Qur’anic reading, the fiqh a young Muslim needs, and the surahs and supplications of daily prayer. Boys and girls are taught in separate classes, and you can start on any weekend of the term.

Fees and registration

Fees are charged by the week and there is no minimum stay. A child continues for as long as the family wants them to — a fortnight of camp or the whole six weeks, one term of Saturday classes or every term.

If you are enrolling more than one child, speak to the office when you bring them in. Sibling arrangements are agreed there, in person, at registration.

Student enrollment form

Places are limited and fill early. Register for the summer camp or the Saturday classes.
