The best part of camp is living together as an Orthodox community. The presence of the priest - at prayer and at play - is a great blessing! The counselors are wonderful at making each cabin a "home away from home." Friendships are quickly formed and everyone is strengthened and encouraged in their faith. Within the security of the Camp St. George community every child is free to enjoy all that camp has to offer and to draw closer to God in this unique setting.

The Morning

As an Orthodox community, we begin and end each day with prayer. It is so beautiful to hear the voices of our young people chanting and singing the services! Divine Liturgy is celebrated one morning during the week as a highlight of the camp's "Eucharistic" character (the word Eucharist means "thanksgiving").After breakfast and Matins, the campers enjoy a quiet morning of Christian Education and Arts & Crafts. Oftentimes the campers have the opportunity to participate in an on-site service project (past projects include making bat boxes for Camp Wapsie and making fleece blankets for the children of a local shelter).
