Russian Orthodox Youth Camp In the UK

Below are the details for Russian Orthodox Youth Camp 2014

St Seraphim Orthodox Youth Camp
The camp is open to all baptised Orthodox children aged between 'rising 9s' and 17. Our campers come from across the UK, with a small proportion travelling from abroad, and represent a wide variety of national backgrounds and Orthodox jurisdictions.  The common language is English, although Russian is also understood and spoken by many of the staff and campers.  Never-the-less, it is only fair to warn that campers with very little or no English are likely to feel at a disadvantage. 

The camp is intended for Orthodox children and young people who wish to deepen their faith while making new friends and enjoying all that outdoor life has to offer. The camp programme is structured around daily prayers and the celebration of the Divine Liturgy on Sundays and feast days, with some form of religious instruction or discussion most days.  This still leaves plenty of time for sport, arts and crafts, drama, hikes, trips to the nearby attractions, camp fires and talent competitions.

This will take place  at a boarding house in South Wales which has all the modern conveniences including internet access. The minimum age is 9 years. Russian will be the language spoken.

There has been in the past also an excellent Youth Camp run by the Exarchate of Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe but I haven't been able to find any details about it.http://www.exarchate.org.uk/
