See how campers spend their days growing in faith, building friendships, and enjoying the best parts of summer camp.
Each day at Camp St. Joseph is thoughtfully balanced between worship, faith-based learning, recreation, and fellowship. Mornings focus on spiritual formation, while afternoons and evenings provide opportunities for campers to enjoy activities, build friendships, and create lasting memories.
Campers gather in age-based groups for lessons and discussions led by counselors and clergy, exploring topics related to Scripture, prayer, Orthodox Christian living, and the life of the Church. These sessions are often paired with engaging activities that help campers apply what they have learned. Throughout the week, campers also enjoy special opportunities to participate in question-and-answer sessions with clergy, including “Ask Sayidna” with Bishop John and “Ask Abouna” with attending priests.
