<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Arabic Camp in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and its impact on the Arabic language proficiency of eleventh-grade students at Muhammadiyah Boarding School Yogyakarta. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the Arabic Camp significantly enhances students’ linguistic abilities in listening (istima’), speaking (kalam), reading (qira’ah), and writing (kitabah). The immersive learning environment in Mecca allows students to practice Arabic in authentic contexts, strengthening both linguistic competence and cultural understanding. Furthermore, the program fosters students’ confidence, intrinsic motivation, and spiritual awareness through daily interactions in Arabic and exposure to Islamic history and culture. Despite challenges such as dialect differences, extreme climate, and intensive schedules, the Arabic Camp proves to be an effective model for experiential Arabic learning. The study recommends broader implementation of Arabic Camp–based programs in Islamic educational institutions to enhance communicative and spiritual competencies simultaneously.]]>
