Khuddam are encouraged  to bring their own tent and sleep in the MKA Campground. The MKA Campground will feature a regional campsite competition, bonfire, and s’mores. 

Based on feedback from previous years, on-site accommodations are being revamped. The National Ijtema Accommodations Team is making a sincere effort to create a safe and comfortable experience for all on-site guests. This year will feature a dedicated 140 ft x 80 ft  heated sleeping marquee that will have sections for different regions. There will be chairs to separate sleeping bags for added organization. The dedicated sleeping marquee means that Khuddam will not have to set-up and tear-down their sleeping areas each day.

Please plan to bring your own bedding. For those Khuddam who cannot because of distance, sleeping bags and pillows will be available for a $5 rental fee.

There will also be a limited number of essentials for sale at discounted prices for those Khuddam who forget them, including towels, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, flip flops for the showers, soap, etc.

There will be approximately 90 outlets available in the sleeping marquee for Khuddam to charge their cellphones. Please plan to bring your own charging bricks and cables.  Khuddam are recommended to bring their own power banks to avoid competing for charging time. Phones will be unsecured while charging.

Quiet hours and lights out will be strictly enforced from 11PM to Tahajjud and from after Fajr to 8:30 AM so Khuddam can maximize their sleep. Those who wish to stay up late and talk can do so outside of the sleeping marquee
