In an effort to make the camping ministries of the Archdiocese of America available to all children, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America has initiated a noble endeavor to establish the Archdiocesan Youth Summer Camp Scholarship Fund.
The fund’s goal is to enable any child within the Archdiocese, regardless of financial circumstances, the opportunity to attend our beloved camps and experience the transformative power of faith, fellowship, and nature.
Throughout the Archdiocese, camping ministries play a vital role in the spiritual growth and development of our youth. It is a sacred ground where our children and young adults encounter the teachings of our Orthodox faith, form lasting friendships, and forge a deeper connection with God and His Church. The experiences gained during their time at camp are invaluable and leave a lasting impact on our youth’s lives.
This Gala celebration will not only be a time of joyous commemoration but also a means to raise funds for the camping ministries scholarship fund. The generous contributions from our parishes will be instrumental in making the vision of Archbishop Elpidophoros a reality, and we humbly invite each and every one of you to participate in this blessed endeavor.
The Archdiocese of America asks for your support by:
