Muslim Youth Camp of California

Founded in 1961 by Marghoob and Iffat Quraishi, the Muslim Youth Camp of California (MYC) provides a spiritually enriching retreat for Muslim families, set in nature's embrace. As a reflection of America's diverse Muslim community, the camp fosters camaraderie and personal spiritual exploration, enhancing American Muslim identities. Campers of all backgrounds create a harmonious "village," participating in activities like congregational prayers, sports, and educational classes. The experience includes communal living in cabins, daily chores, and evening campfires, fostering unity and respect for Islamic diversity. MYC is a testament to its founders' vision, promoting a positive Muslim identity through a blend of spiritual, educational, and recreational activities.
