Camp Patron Saint

St. Michael the Archangel

Today, more than ever, our kids are bombarded day and night with messages that conflict with our calling as Orthodox Christians – at school, on social media, through friends, from neighbors, via advertising. Instead of “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” the world offers its own message: live for the moment, follow your passions, live it up, it’s all about you. While we can’t keep our kids from the spiritual dangers of the world, we can prepare them as Orthodox Christians for what they will encounter there.
