A Short Letter From
Dato’ Sheikh Hussain Yee

Bismillah,
Alhamdulillah,
Wassolatuwassalamu 'ala rosulillah,

I am delighted to write a few words about the Al Khaadem Youth Camp. AKYC is a long running youth-orientated initiative. What started out as a small scale impromptu outing in the 80’s evolved into a full scale youth camp complete with learning materials, complex coordination of activities and international level participants.

One of the main reasons Al Khaadem is consistently organising these camps is because the youth, as always but especially now in 2024 are DESPERATE FOR FUN.

Our youth are constantly bombarded with false representations of ‘fun’. Be it in TV, Netflix, TikTok, social media, online games and even peer groups, the concept of ‘fun’ is often referred to as activities that are not permissible in our beautiful religion.

Our mission is to expose the youth to true fun. We are committed to creating an environment where the youth are exposed to life skills, outdoor activities, leadership and a strong foundation of cultural understanding. Our goal is to nurture courage and independence in the youth while also giving a sense of direction and worth as a Muslim.

While holding fast to the rope of the Sunnah, every year we seek to modernise our approach and programmes to ensure suitable relevance with modern challenges and technologies to assist our campers in reaching their full potential both here and in the hereafter.

We believe that this noble effort will contribute positively towards the development of an exemplary youth community. Thank you all, parents and guardians for your kind support in entrusting your children to Al Khaadem Youth Camp. We wish all our participants an enlightening and enjoyable camp, insyaAllah.
