2025 Kalimah Summer Camp Application

Marhaba!

This form is an application to be considered for admission into one of Kalimah's 2025 summer programs. This year, we are making some changes to our programs in order to continue to provide top quality programs. We will admit a limited number of participants for each week of programs, but we are offering the programs for a longer period and possibly in different locations in order to reach more families. Submitting this form and deposit/tuition payment are not guarantees of acceptance into the program or scholarships.

We got initial approval for tuition scholarships provided by Qatar Foundation International (QFI). We will update this form and other sources of information as soon as funds are available.

If you experience technical issues filling out this form, click "Save" at the bottom and the form will send you an email with saved entries. Complete and submit from a different device/browser after checking all fields for accuracy and completion.

If you have any questions, please email us at info@kalimahprograms.org
