✦ About us

25 years of unforgettable summers

UK Ismaili Youth Camps was established over 25 years ago, beginning with the first UK-based Caring & Sharing camp. Since then, AKYSB, ITREB, and AKEB have collaborated under the guidance of the National Council to develop a diverse range of camps and programmes, expanding opportunities for youth across our Jamat.

Today, we offer four bespoke Summer Youth Camps for participants aged 8–18, and facilitators aged 19-35. Each camp is thoughtfully designed to foster lifelong friendships, support personal development, and build a wide range of skills through a multidisciplinary approach.
