Young

We are an independently operated organization. Our members
as well as our founders are spread around the state and

Do
I have to live in North Carolina to attend the Summer Camps
or other YMR functions? |

We have had youths from many locations attend our Summer
Camps. Some have travelled from as far south as Georgia.
Everyone is welcome! |

Do you have financial assistance for
families who cannot afford to send their child to YMR Islamic
Summer Camp? |
| |
|
We
do offer financial assistance and we gratefully accept donations
from our sponsors to accomplish this. Donors have the option
of specifiying that they would like their donation to be
used to sponsor an individual child to go to camp. If you

|
Can
I bring my non-Muslim friend to YMR functions or the Islamic
summer camp? |
| |
|
When
we say EVERYONE is welcome, we do mean everyone.
Yes you may certainly bring a non-Muslim friend! Insha'Allah
your non-Muslim friend will have a very positive experience
being surrounded with an Islamic environment and Muslim
hospitality - and will take that experience home. It could
have positive reverberations in many settings with many
different groups and we pray that insha'Allah it will bring
your friend closer to Islam as well. |
|
Do
girls have to wear pants to swim? |
| |
|
Yes.
The YMR Dress Code applies to all situations and all
activities at the Summer Camp, with the obvious exception
of the cabin/sleeping area which is private. |
|
Do
we have to attend the guest speakers' lectures? |
| |
|
Yes.
The purpose of the Islamic Summer Camp is to increase our
knowledge about our religion and to strengthen our faith
Insha'Allah. One of the most important aspects of your camp
experience is listening carefully and absorbing the important
gift these speakers have for you. These people have lessons
and knowledge that will benefit you if you truly and sincerely
ask Allah (SWT) for His Guidance before sessions begin. |
|
Is the food served at the camp Halal? |
| |
|
We
have total control over the menu offered at the camp. We
select a fish or vegetarian entree for each meal and there
is never any risk of pork or non-halal meat/poultry being
served to camp attendees. |
|
We
will add more FAQ's as we receive them.
