      My kids absolutely loved the Muslim Explorers summer hiking program! It was such a refreshing experience for them—fun, active, and rooted in Islamic values. As a parent, I really appreciated the welcoming environment Sarah and Sana created.

      My son had a wonderful experience with the Muslim Explorers hike group last year. The program was thoughtfully designed, blending outdoor exploration with Islamic values in a way that was both engaging and meaningful. The leaders were not only knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also warm and approachable, making each hike feel like an adventure with friends.

      What truly stood out was how they connected the beauty of nature back to Allah, encouraging the children to reflect on the signs of creation all around them. My son came home each time with new facts about wildlife and plants. The activities were hands-on, fun, and age-appropriate, and they always included opportunities for learning and bonding with other Muslim kids.

      I highly recommend Muslim Explorers to any family looking for a program that nurtures both the heart and the mind, while getting kids active in nature.
