ABOUT US

Founded in 1965, EOYC is a pan-Orthodox organization located in the heartland of the United States that features a week-long summer camp for youth of the Orthodox faith. During this week, children of ages 7 to 17 are given the opportunity to grow as young Orthodox Christians, while interacting with their peers in a variety of ways. Campers are afforded the chance to build and strengthen friendship through all of the different activities. EOYC also hosts events throughout the year in an effort to build faith and fellowship among our community.

Youth Protection

EOYC works actively to ensure that our camp participants are safe and that each of our counselors is well trained in the most up-to-date practices and information. Every adult, whether they are a counselor or guest, who spends a night at EOYC must have passed an online training course focused on youth protection practices. 

The safety of campers and counselors will always be first in our minds.
