My annual "Summer camp is coming up!" reminder


A reminder that it's about that time to sign your children up for Orthodox summer camp (the above video is from the Antiochian Village Summer Camp, which has just opened up registration here). If you need information on camps near you, I recommend the Orthodox Camps website available here.

About The Orthodox Christian Camp Association

The Orthodox Christian Camp Association is a group of Orthodox Christian camp professionals from all Orthodox Christian jurisdictions.

Operating with the blessing of SCOBA (The Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas), the Orthodox Christian Camp Association is to witness to the truth and love of Jesus Christ through the Orthodox Christian camping experience by

Overseeing the operation of the annual Camp Conference of camp directors and staff
to share and provide resources to Orthodox Christian Camping Programs

Prayer for Orthodox Camping Programs

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, who condescended to enter under the roof of Zacchaeus the Publican, thus becoming salvation to him and his whole household: As the same Lord, by means of our unworthy prayers, look with mercy and beneficence upon our Orthodox encampments. As our Lord and Master, enlighten our directors, counselors, and staff to the doing of Your holy Will, so that they might always worthily direct those entrusted to their care, to grow in wisdom and grace before Your majesty. May Your presence be felt in the midst of our encampments, thus, in Your mercy, preserving them from the snares of the evil one and abund antly providingopportunity that all participants profit by Your blessing. For You are our God, and to You do we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
