Camps Canada organizes day and residential retreats that inspire diversity, leadership, and connection within the Ismaili youth community.

Camps Canada offers exciting opportunities for the diverse Ismaili community to come together, share memories, and create lifelong connections. Camps inspire personal growth, increased confidence and a sense of community and belonging to the Jamat. Through counsellor and staff positions, camps build leadership in our community for those with a passion for youth development and engagement. For 2025, we are offering four summer camps, Camp Discovery, Camp Mosaic, Camp Arabesque, and Al-Ummah Canada, which are tailored to meet the development needs and strengths of different age groups.

• Camp Discovery is a 5-day day camp, from Monday to Friday, for ages 6-9, held at a Jamatkhana with a field trip mid-week
• Camp Mosaic is a one-week overnight residential camp for ages 10-12
• Camp Arabesque is a 5-day day camp with an overnight component and field trip for ages 13-14
• Al-Ummah Canada a 12-day overnight residential camp for ages 15-18
