What is Al-Ummah?

Since its inception in 1982, Al-Ummah has been a beacon of inclusivity, welcoming hundreds to explore their cultural and religious heritage. Our residential summer program serves as a nurturing platform for participants aged 16 to 18, guiding them to:

Embrace:

Embrace mental, physical, and spiritual challenges through various exhilarating activities, fostering discussions on contemporary issues that resonate within our community.

Cultivate:

Transform:

Blossom into confident individuals, empowered leaders, and responsible citizens. Together, we weave unforgettable memories, embark on transformative experiences, and refine the art of expressing ideas with clarity and conviction. Join us on this enriching voyage of self-discovery and growth.
