FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)

Please be aware that we only have one (1) phone at camp for all campers and calls can only be made during meals. Frequent phone calls can also make homesickness worse. Please keep calls to once per week. We do encourage writing letters as a form of communication as well.

Typically, Breakfast (завтрак) is at 9:00 AM, Lunch (обед) is at 1 PM, and Dinner (ужин) is at 6:00 PM.

Please be aware that meal times may change depending on the activities of the day, such as Vespers/Vigil, Liturgy, etc.

Campers are not permitted to bring cell phones, MP3 players, gaming consoles, or other related electronic devices to camp. These items will be confiscated. Digital cameras are allowed.

Mагазин usually runs after lunch and it allows for campers to get a small snack. They can either purchase something from the camp store or bring their own care package. We usually ask that you leave $20 dollars for your child to use on purchases. If you send your camper with a care package, please make sure that food is nonperishable and is in a box with a sealable lid. 

Visiting day is on Sundays. We invite you to attend Liturgy. Afterward, please join us for lunch in the Stolovaya. You can then spend “мертвый час” with your camper. Please do not enter the individual camps. Also, your child must remain on camp property and must return to their cabin at the end of the hour.

We also have a parent program during our Vladimirovo Celebration.

If you need to come to camp for any other reason, please email info@orprcamp.org or speak to the Nachalnik of the week to receive permission.

On the last day of camp, a Thanksgiving Moleben is served, and we hold a parade where campers receive their earned patches. If you need to pick up your child before then, please email info@orprcamp.org with your arrival date and time. Upon arrival, please speak with the Nachalnik for the week to sign your child out.

Please submit, in writing, the name and contact information of the person designated to pick up your child at least three days in advance to info@orprcamp.org. Ensure they provide identification upon pickup.

Please email info@orprcamp.org with all details, including the date and time of pickup and return. Upon arrival at camp, please speak to the Nachalnik for the week to ensure your child is properly signed out and back in.

With the exception of pre-planned activities as outlined in question 7, children may not be removed from scheduled activities. We offer a comprehensive month-long program at camp and aim to facilitate a well rounded, enjoyable experience for all children, fostering friendships, relationships, and personal growth. Removal of a child from an activity will constitute an official sign-out from camp, and no refund will be provided.

All medications, with the exception of albuterol inhalers, must be turned over to ORPR Camp at the time of registration. Campers cannot keep medications (except albuterol inhalers) on their person. Medications are stored in the infirmary in a locked cabinet. A camp “nurse” disperses and documents the administration of medications daily. We administer the medications as stated on the prescription or instructions.

No, all medications,ointments, supplements, herbal remedies, including tylenol, ibuprofen, benadryl, anti-itch must be turned over at registration to ORPR camp. All medications will be kept in the infirmary.

The camp “nurse” is one of the Nachalstvo who is First Aid, AED, and CPR certified. They have taken on the role to assist with minor medical concerns. Please be aware that camp is a volunteer run organization. If your child requires a higher level of care they will be taken to an Urgent Care or Emergency Department and you will be contacted. If your child has a fever for more than 2 days expect to receive a phone call from the Nachalnik of the week to further discuss your child’s care.
