Join Islamic Relief USA on an epic multi-day adventure across the beautiful mountains and lakes of British Columbia, & support vulnerable communities in Canada!

Reach New Limits

Conquer the mountainous wilderness of BC and discover a mental, emotional and physical strength within you that you could never have imagined. Traverse breath-taking alpine terrain with a group of like-minded people and discover friendships that last a lifetime. Gaze into the iridescent blue waters of Garibaldi Lake and reflect deep within your soul. 

Islamic Relief Canada Challenges are more than just an adventurous trip. These challenges are about discovering yourself, strengthening your faith and your humanity under the open sky – away from worldly distractions. They are about forging a better you, and a better world.

Support a cause important to you

To work towards a better world, all participants will receive an email with a link to their personal crowdfunding page. Your goal is to raise $2000 for a cause of your choosing!

But don’t worry, you won’t be alone on your journey through the wilderness, or through your fundraising journey. Our teams will get in touch with you within 5 business days after signing up and provide you with tips and tools on how to kick-start your crowdfunding journey!

Through the British Challenge, you will visit existing and previous Islamic Relief projects in British Columbia and learn about how Islamic Relief Canada works to support communities not just across the world, but in Canada too.

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”

–Anthony Bourdain
