FAQ:

What is the weekly schedule for summer camp?

  • From Monday to Friday, campers will be in Roots, engaging in learning, games, team challenges, workshops, discussions, dhikr, and much more! Once a week, campers will go on field trips to an exciting venue to have fun with their fellow campers and build meaningful brotherhood and sisterhood! Transportation will be provided.

What will the timings be for camps?

  • Summer camp will be held from 10:00am - 3:00pm. On Friday, campers will be dismissed post-Jumuah between 3:00-3:30pm to accommodate Jumuah traffic. The reasoning for ending afterwards is the immense benefit that can come from the kids learning and observing how to take advantage of and how to properly pray Jumuah.

Are field trips included in the registration price?

  • Yes — these are included in the registration price.

Do we have to sign up for both sessions?

  • No – parents have the choice to sign up their student(s) for only one of the sessions or both! Each session will have unique curricula and activities with very slight unavoidable overlap.

Will summer camp provide lunch or snacks?

  • We will provide lunch and snacks! Special treats will also be provided throughout the week. Parents are welcome to pack additional snacks or food for their child if they would like!

My child is about to be 9. Can I register them for the preteens camp?

  • Parents know their children best. If you believe they will enjoy and thrive more in The Grove Summer Camps over the Bloom camps, then please feel free to sign them up. Similarly, if your almost-12-year-old will do better with the older kids, please feel free to sign them up for that week.

My child is about to be 13. Can I register them for the young teens camp instead of the preteens camp?

  • Similar to the answer above, parents know their children best. If you believe they will do better with the older kids, please feel free to sign them up for the young teens camp.

Who do we contact if we have questions about the camp or financial assistance?
