Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we are a group of upright youth, praise be to Allah, and most of us are students of knowledge. We have set up a camp where we gather on Thursdays and Fridays, and we have left it, or made it a da'wah camp, where we invite some of us. We have also established a football league to gather the youth, and then distribute tapes to them. Is this football league permissible? Knowing that the prizes are from us,
Answer:
By Allah, I do not encourage these camps and gatherings. If you have a desire to seek knowledge and gather in the mosque.
You have the mosques, praise be to Allah. Gather in them and seek knowledge in them. There is no need for these matters and these expenses.
The mosques do not require any expense or anything from you. You pray and seek knowledge. And whoever you want from the shaykhs will come to you and deliver a lesson or a lecture in the mosque.
Sunan Abi Dawud 1455Sahih (Al-Albani). How do you leave the mosques and make camps? I do not encourage this and I do not approve of it.

No people get together in a house of the houses of Allah (i.e. a mosque), reciting the Book of Allah, and learning it together among themselves, but calmness (sakinah) comes down to them, (Divine) mercy covers them (from above), and the angels surround them, and Allah makes a mention of them among those who are with Him.
وما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله يتمون كتاب الله ويتدارسونه بينهم. إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة وغشيتهم الرحمة وحفتهم الملائكة وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده
