Summer Activities
Join us this summer for three of our most ambitious activities ever. We’ve placed a lot of emphasis into the development of teamwork, teaching useful social skills and growing their Islamic identity.
Urban Orienteering
Orienteering is a competitive sport where participants harness their skill of knowing their surroundings, using maps and known landmarks in order to navigate to their given checkpoints and end goals in the shortest time.
We, at KeenOnDeen, have modernised this sport from the usual rural setting to take place in the city centre, learning how to navigate trains, buses, bikes and how to navigate on foot.
Highlights
KoD Sleepover
This activity is a fun opportunity for Keeners to get together, share funny stories with each other, cooperate in fun games and challenges, and come together on the Thikr of Allaah.
KoD sleepover is a fun sleep over at the Arabic Courses centre for girls only which will be a fun and enriching evening.
Highlights
Coastline Hiking
This summer holiday we have a great outdoor activity taking the Keeners to the coastline of Britain, hiking the great outdoors, Seeing the coastline and Seaford, and experience what its like to go on a trek.
Join us this summer for our hiking event. Parents welcome to join and children welcome to have fun.

Urban Orienteering
This summer 2015 we have organised an exciting outdoor activity, taking the idea from a famous outdoor activity called ‘orienteering’. Orienteering is a sport where groups or individuals given a map and a compass and are instructed to navigate to various checkpoints in the shortest amount of time. This is normally done in the outdoors, in the wilderness, with trees, mountain faces, and open fields. This teaches map reading, gaining bearings using the compass, time management and teamwork.
Navigate Around London
When: 11th August, 9:30am-6:30pm
Where: AC Centre, The Hub
Fee: Only £15 per child
11+ without parents, 7+ with parents

Innovative Approach
We took a look at this activity and adapted it to our day to day situation. As city dwellers, navigating the public transport, roads and our concrete jungle is an important skill. This activity aims at developing this skill, along with the skill of teamwork and leadership.
Problem Solving
Traditional orienteering puts participants in situations where they have to use their compass and local landmarks to navigate, but this is almost always done on foot. Urban orienteering offers the additional challenge of navigating public transport, choosing the best route and means of transport, understanding traffic, and putting all of this together to complete the given task
Seeing Many History Sites
Urban orienteering offers each participants to learn more about the city they live in. It gives them the opportunity to visit the many important historical locations and sites across London.
Key Activities
On the day participants will be given on the day a map of London, a list of riddles and tasks to complete before meeting up at Regents Park Masjid
Key Structure
Participants will be placed in teams whereby they will have to elect a team leader whom they have to rely on to complete the given tasks as quickly as possible.
Urban Orienteering
An opportunity of a lifetime and an experience your children won't forget.
