Locations

Typically held in local natural spaces in Central Maryland (Columbia, Laurel, Ellicott City), class locations are selected by topic to give students the best experience and shared exclusively with registrants prior to the start of class.

Early Registration Encouraged!

Our classes are carefully planned to provide a high-quality experience for each student. To make sure your child’s spot is secured, we recommend registering early.

Please note: Classes may be canceled if we have less than the minimum enrollment. Registering promptly helps us confirm classes, plan materials, and ensure the best experience for everyone.

Don’t wait—reserve your spot today and give your child the adventure they deserve!

Course Schedules & Topics

Each class requires a non-refundable deposit to hold your student’s space and is applied to the cost of your registration. The full balance must be paid 10 days prior to the start of class, or in installments, if a payment plan is elected.

Each year, our classes, discussion, and activities work from a central theme centered around our connection to Allah (God) & Nature. In addition to practical skills, we are exploring the theme:
