Fall Retreat
October 20-21, 2006
The annual fall day-long retreat was extended to overnight in 2002. Previous retreats included hiking, climbing, sports, picnics, small group reflections, and bigger group discussions and lectures. This year's retreat at Raven Rock center in Maryland also included a fantastic list of guest speakers: Sr. Chantal Carnes from Chicago, Br. Souheil Ghannouchi of the DC area, and Muslim Chaplain Yahya Hendi.
Between the inspiring lectures, small group discussions, a mosque-building competition, and organized group prayers, students also found plenty of time to hike, play sports, cook and eat, and play games late into the night. Ending the weekend as guests at a student's house with dinner and a trampoline was a perfect way to enjoy each other's company and build on the friendships we made throughout the weekend. In all, students found the 2002 fall retreat a fun, enlightening, and relaxing community event!

Spring Retreat
April 2-4, 2004
The spring retreat has traditionally been the overnight retreat. In the springs of 2001 and 2002, the MSA went to KOA Kampgrounds for a fun, spiritual, and relaxing two days. The retreats featured speakers such as Ayesha Kazmi, Mohammad Magid, Saif Abdul-Rahman, and Muslim Chaplain Yahya Hendi.
Memorable activities included spelunking through a cave, canoeing, s'mores around the campfire, sports, and plenty of barbecues. We look forward to this year's upcoming retreat, as it is also the last chance for many of the MSA seniors to spend quality time with each other and other Muslim students before graduation.
