What is your favorite Orthodox feast, hymn, or tradition?
Pascha — the joy of Pascha after a long Lenten season, and the 2AM fellowship that follows, is unmatched.
What is your favorite camp activity?
Color Wars! I especially love the sorting ceremony when campers are drafted into the red or blue team — for life.
What is one thing you hope every camper experiences?
I hope every camper experiences the joy of Christ through the love and care they receive from their fellow campers and staff.
What do you love most about camp?
Coming together as a Diocese in faith, fun, and fellowship. Camp strengthens our relationships with each other and with Christ, and the friendships formed there continue throughout the year in our other youth programs.
