Re-Align Yourself with Life Enhancing Workshops and Fun Activities You Will Never Forget…

We’ve joined forces with Christchurch City Council and Benevolence Wellington to bring you this summer’s biggest event!

The Hawaa Girls Summer Camp is the perfect opportunity for young Muslim women of New Zealand to come together for a serene retreat in nature.

~ Connect ~ Share ~ Discover ~

Learn more about being balanced and healthy in our modern world with interactive wellbeing workshops led by experts in their fields.

Create lifelong memories with your friends as you kayak downstream, take on some yoga poses, challenge each other during quiz night or beat the clock to be the ultimate winner of the DeenQuest or the Races!

Experience the diversity of our community with a clash of colour, costume and food: Culture Night opens up the camp with a bang! Come dressed to the nines in your cultural clothes (be extra!) with a plate of food representing your culture to share.
