ORPR
Russian Orthodox Youth Camp
under the auspices
of The Diocese of Chicago and Detroit of The Russian Orthodox Church Outside
of Russia.
ORPR Camp,
located in rural northern Illinois, provides our Russian Orthodox Youth
with a month of instruction in Russian Orthodox Religion, Russian Culture,
History and scouting in a comfortable camp setting. The camp session
runs the entire month of July and also includes activities such as swimming,
hiking, scavenger hunts, campfires, sports and arts & crafts.
Leadership
Workshop - June 20 - June 23, 2008
The 3rd Annual
Camp Leadership Workshop will be held again at Ruskoka Camp (Toronto),
for counsellors and future counsellors, ages 15 to 25. The workshop is
held jointly by ORPR Camp and Ruskoka Camp. The last two workshops were
a huge success, with much to learn, lots of fun team building exercises,
and many friendships made.
The schedule
will include 10 informative and interactive presentationx dealing with
topics such as communication, emergency response, conflict resolution and
leadership. We have a number of invited guest speakers and directors from
other nearby camps. Vespers and Liturgy are planned to be served at the
camp chapel. Other activities included swimming, a soccer match, choir
rehearsals, a hike, numerous team building exercises, and of course camp
bonfires every evening. In the camp tradition, the day will start and end
with raising and lowering of the flags and prayers. This workshop will
give a unique opportunity for our teens to meet and bond with other counselors,
learn and practice valuable leadership skills, and develop their personal
communication tools.
Check back here
for more information and registration forms. Cost, will be $80 all inclusive
for all meals and course material and transportation. The ORPR Camp delegation
will be chaperoned by ORPR instructors and the van will depart Holy Virgin
Protection Cathedral (Des Plaines, IL) Thursday evening for Toronto.
