Zenith Camp is a Sufi meditation camp with a community that comes together every summer to celebrate love, harmony and beauty. Tracing back to the youth camps Pir Vilayat organized in the French Alps, we’ve been organizing multi-week summer events for over 50 years.

Meditation and retreat are the central focus at these gatherings, while dance, movement, and music are integral as well. There are spaces for silent retreat, for workshops, for conversation. Essential to our community is collective effort: Volunteers build the Camp’s structures and meeting places before the participants arrive, make running the camp possible through their work in a variety of staff positions, and later dismantle the buildings at summer’s end.

While being an independent organization, the Zenith camp stands in the tradition of the Inayatiyya, a Chishti Sufi tradition brought to the Western world by Hazrat Inayat Khan. The Sufism of the Inayatiyya is universal in its acceptance of all people and paths leading to the unfoldment of the light and power latent in the human being.
