The Young Adults’ Camp (ages 16-29ish) follows its own fl exible schedule over the 10 days, featuring daily sessions with Pir Zia and Devi Tide, as well as fun-fi lled activities, group sharing and meetings with other senior teachers. This camp has traditionally been a bridge for those younger or less experienced in the Sufi teachings and has provided a joyous atmosphere for forming and deepening sacred friendships and community.
