Camp 2009

St. Seraphim Camp Applications will be available at the beginning of 2009.

We hope that your family will take advantage of the opportunity to send your child to this most rewarding experience.

Hundreds of families have benefited over the years and we hope, with God's help, to be able to serve the Russian Orthodox community for many years to come!

If you have questions, they may be mailed to the camp director.

St. Seraphim Russian Orthodox Youth Camp

St. Seraphim Youth Camp is a private, not for profit, fully insured organization serving the needs of the Russian Orthodox community. The camp was founded in 1994 with the blessing of His Eminence, Metropolitan Laurus of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. Our camp utilizes the facilities of the Boy Scouts of America in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

The camp is held each year at the feast of St. Seraphim of Sarov. We accept Russian Orthodox youth between grades 3 and 12.

A Spiritual Retreat

Each day begins and ends with prayer and includes daily religious instruction. The fasts of the Russian Orthodox Church are strictly observed. A camp choir sings the services and each child goes to Confession and Holy Communion.

Camp Activities

Camp activities include all the wonderful experiences we associate with camping: including arts and crafts, swimming, sports, archery, hiking, tube rafting, flag games and, of course, bonfires.

 

Registration is now closed. We have filled to capacity. Please consider our camp next year!
