The days at teen camp vary day to day with different projects, trips and liturgical services.  Examples of past projects are travelling to a cemetery to do some maintenance work around the aging grave sites, visit the elderly and listen to their stories of when they were children, cleaning up around camp and being community members.  All of these projects allowed us to learn about each other in different situations and settings.

Often these projects might include some hard work and different experiences, but they are often the most fulfilling part of growing into a young adult. Developing the confidence to do new things, figure out new responsibilities, and generally have a new guide on a sometimes confusing venture into adulthood.

At St. Michael’s Camp our teens will have the opportunity to enjoy varioius sports such as baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, frisbee, etc. These sports are set that everyone can have fun and succeed. Everyone has a blast playing their favorite sports or learning new ones.

Madge Lake has a beautiful lake of mixed grass lands, islands and trails that the teens will get the opportunity to enjoy while canoeing and kayaking.

At St. Michael’s we have opportunity to celebrate different liturgical services throughout the week, such as a Divine Liturgy, Moleben, Akathist and Vespers.  During the week sessions will be lead around our annual theme and will based around faith and everyday experiences.  These sessions include discussions, question-and-answer and sharing of personal experiences.  The group takes time to reflect on the presentations and build on their spiritual self during this time.

Outdoor campfire and camp songs are one the most memorable parts of camp. Throughout the week the teens will engage in fire making, cooking over a fire, fire safety and participating in camp sing alongs.

Teen Camp programming is different each year. Service projects are led throughout the week, with intentions of giving back to the community. This means each year the teens will always experience a new part of themselves.
