History:

Founded in 1973, Camp Deen began when Muslim immigrants in Toronto longed for a wholesome camp experience for their children. Fifty years later, we are proudly still running as a grassroots, non-profit, community-led summer camp for Canadian-Muslim children to feel a sense of community, friendship, and practice their spirituality in a safe, beautiful environment.
