Registration has begun for St. Seraphim Camp

St. Seraphim Camp has opened its registration online for the July 28-August 4, 2013 term.

The camp, located in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, is open to children from the third grade until 18 years old. Begun with the blessing and encouragement of the ever-memorable Metropolitan Laurus, St. Seraphim Camp continues to be one of the major activities for youth in the Russian Church Abroad. Children attend from all over America, Canada, and other countries. Each day is filled with activities. The morning begins with prayer and The Law of God. A number of priests volunteer their week to be with the children and make themselves available for spiritual needs. Each day sees a wide variety of sporting activities, arts and crafts, hiking, swimming and water sports. The evenings are filled with activities and bonfires. Lastly, evening prayers are said together. Abundant adult supervision is drawn from parents and clergy.

This year, Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, will lead divine services in the camp chapel on Saturday the 3rd and Sunday the 4th of August.

The cost of the camp is $275 until July 5, after which it increases to $300. Limited financial assistance is available for those who have a sincere need. Family discounts are also available, and will be automatically generated at the time of registration. All information is to be found on the camp website. Registration is available only online at www.stseraphimcamp.com.
