An Annual Libyan Retreat

Join us for Amal Camp 2023

ABOUT AMAL CAMP

Amal Camp, an Annual Libyan Retreat, is a weekend getaway held on a beautiful lakeshore in Ohio. Located in a scenic grove, we are dedicated to providing a relaxing weekend for Libyans in the United States to meet and reunite with family and friends. Every year, we incorporate fun evening games, outdoor activities, and more.

who We Are

Amal Camp started in 1995 as a getaway weekend for a few Libyan families. Since then, it has grown in both size and significance. Amal Camp is now an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships within the Libyan American community. Our camp provides wholesome and inclusive activities in a tranquil and natural setting. We have no rigid business structure or membership; Anyone who desires a good time with good people are welcome to register and attend our once-per-year event.

We like to keep our registrants as busy as they’d like to be, so we offer a range of activities available (but not required) to all.

Camp is  a weekend where campers look forward to” un-plugging” from their everyday. As you approach the campsite, be aware that you will lose your cell phone reception and GPS signal. We have found that campers who have Verizon services do have select coverage. The camp site does not offer Wi-Fi connection. There is a town approximately 15 minutes away that has various establishments such as restaurants that offer free Wi-Fi.
