Camp For All: Breaking Barriers Down

Part of our mission statement as the Muslim Students’ Association at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor includes our commitment to serve God by serving the community in all elements of life through religious enrichment, social connections, community service, social justice  and interfaith relations. This year for the second time we are fortunate for the opportunity to collaborate with Camp For All through Alternative Spring Break and volunteer our time to help enrich the traditional camp experience for young children with special needs. Camp For All is an inclusive, barrier-free program that welcomes children with challenging illnesses to experience the joy of camp without limitations.

Help Empower Children with Special Needs

"The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind." -Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

Now more than ever, we as Muslim-Americans should strive to honor the values of community service and leadership that our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) embodied. With your help, we can invest our time and effort into giving back to the community and making a impact on younger generations.

Your contributions will allow us to fund our trip to Texas and spend our spring break volunteering with Camp For All. During that time, we will be helping young campers enjoy a variety of programs like fishing, canoeing, horse-back riding, arts and crafts, planting, and many other athletic activities that might otherwise be difficult for children with special needs. 

Testimonials

"During ASB, we worked at Camp For All. The camp's dedication to being 'barrier-free' left me in awe. The staff were all welcoming and open, and the campers all seemed to be engaged and excited. Our work was meaningful not from the ways we helped the camp, but from the memories we had working with the camp, under the beautiful scenery, amongst the best of company." - Anam Khan, 2016 trip to Burton, Texas

"ASB was not just an avenue that allowed me to provide service to a community, but also an opportunity to learn from that same community you are providing to service to. This experience fostered a warm and sincere relationship with the community and each individual ASB'er who shared the experience with me. My most rewarding college experience: something I will cherish and value for years to come." - Farhan Ali, 2016 trip to Burton, Texas

"ASB was an awesome experience. One thing that stands out was getting to stay at a church and meeting the nicest people; they made us granola bars and dinners, invited us to their church service. Our group had a great time and really made lasting meaningful relationships based on compassion and service. Definitely one of the highlights of my sophomore year!" - Nour Soubani, 2013 ASB trip to Roanoke, Virginia
