Give a Child the Gift of Camp This Nativity Season

December 15, 2011 at 6:59 am Leave a comment

This holiday season, in the midst of toys, electronics, clothes and other perishable gifts on the wish lists of our children, why not consider giving a gift that they will remember for a lifetime – one that will make lasting impressions, friendships, and love for our Lord and His Church? Treat your God child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or friend to a week or summer at Saint Andrew’s Camp.

At the initiative of his Grace Michael – Bishop  of new York and New Jersey, and with support of the camp’s board of directors, Gift certificates and scholarships to Saint Andrew’s Camp are available to purchase  for the summer of 2012.

For a very reasonable price of only $350.00 for one week ($300 for subsequent weeks), a child has a chance to receive an unforgettable experience exploring the pristine natural surroundings; learn more about scripture and Orthodoxy through the teachings of our Hierarch, clergy and seminarians from the diocese and beyond; participate in fun age appropriate activities; be nurtured by and interact with loving, accepting counselors and make lifetime friends the process.

A gift of camp is a perfect opportunity for children living in urban and suburban areas to connect to nature. A gift of camp provides the opportunity to sponsor a child that would otherwise be unable to afford to participate in the enriching programs that Orthodox summer camping offers. Perhaps there is a specific child that you know, or perhaps you wish to sponsor any interested camper that applies through our scholarship program. Several scholarships have been donated by board of directors members and are available!

Whatever the case, please, think of the invaluable contribution you will be making to change a child’s life for the better by sending them to St. Andrew’s camp as a holiday gift!
