A parents and toddler room has been allocated for all the parents to let their young ones play indoors and enjoy themselves. A variety of toddler toys and play activities will be provided. This room will not be staffed and parents will have to supervise their children at all times. The room will have a live feed so you won’t miss out on any lectures and will be open during the morning, afternoon and evening sessions.

Our dedicated Children’s Programme is the perfect place to stimulate and nurture Islamic characteristics with our carefully-selected volunteers. With a host of activities on offer, the Children’s Programme is engaging, accessible, and inclusive, with activities devised to support the retreat's theme as well as our Islamic ethos. The children have immense pleasure singing and preparing for a full on-stage performance! That’s right; your kids will be singing their little hearts out to the audience on the final day! Needless to say, with all the happy tears and tantrums, there’s never a dull day in the Children’s Programme!

Our dedicated Youth Programme is the ideal place for our youngsters to come and have fun whilst being engaged in thought-provoking discussions that rejuvenate the mind and instil spiritual awareness. They will leave the retreat more confident in airing their thoughts and views in a respectable and grounded manner. This is after having loads of outdoor fun activities! That’s it, parents! This is the perfect place to send your kids for inspiration!

A great fun weekend for the children with dedicated activities, indoors and outdoors. They will surely love this retreat more than they have ever before!
