The purpose of this program is to review elementary level (3rd, 4th, and 5th grade) language arts and math to prepare students for the next grade level. This course helps students strengthen their skills to excel in these crucial subjects.

For language Arts there are daily readings of grade level books followed by writing assignments. Also covered is grammar, such as sentence structure, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and helping/linking verbs. There will also be some art activities relating to the reading assignments inshaAllah.
Sports
We understand that summer is a time where children are very energetic, and want to have fun activities away from school. We hope that our Summer Camp will make this summer a very memorable summer for our beloved students. There will be a structured Sports Program that offers training to our students, followed by fun tournaments and competitions between different classes. We will have some or all of the following activities during the summer camp, Insha Allah.I. Basketball
II. Soccer
III. Football
IV. Track
V. Team Building
Field Trips
To combine theory with practice, and to make the experience enjoyable for our youth, we will conduct different field trips during the course of the camp that will help our students implement the wisdom that they learn during the Islamic Studies classes. The field trips will be fun and exciting, and will help enhance the students’ Islamic understanding.Typically, the field trips will take place on Wednesdays, though this date may change due to weather or scheduling reasons. To enhance this experience, we would appreciate if each parent can commit to volunteer as a chaperone on at least one of the Wednesday. We would also appreciate if the parents can offer their vans/cars to transport students to the field trips. This will help us cut down the field trip costs, make the trip safer for our students, and allow the parents to be closely involved in their child’s Islamic education.
