The Detroit Diocese Summer Camp runs for five weeks each summer beginning in early July. A camp week begins on Sunday, with the arrival of the campers, and ends the following Saturday. Campers have the option to stay for one or two weeks. Campers are split into one of six different groups and assigned with those groups to a cabin.
Campers go through an orientation session and are introduced to the entire staff.
After the swimming session, campers sit down for dinner and then participate in an all-camp activity on the playing field. Before retiring for the evening, campers come together to sing the traditional evening worship. In the morning activities, campers rotate through three different sessions designed to focus on their physical, spiritual and creative enrichment. Orthodox Life is conducted by our clergy and seminarians, focusing on instruction in our faith and discussing current issues and the church s teaching on those topics. Often times, these sessions take place in our beautiful outdoor chapel on the other side of the lake from the camp.
