St. Xenia Camp

St. Xenia Camp The official page for St. Xenia's Camp! We are under the auspices of the Eparchial Synod of the GOC of America. St.

Xenia Orthodox Church Camp, since 2000, has been held at Camp Forest Acres, a beautiful summer campsite that has been in use since the 1920’s. It is situated in picturesque Fryeburg, Maine bordering the scenic White Mountains of New Hampshire. The campsite includes space for handling up to 100 campers comfortably, including cabins that are fitted with bathrooms and electricity, a spacious indoor g

ymnasium, a theater building, and extensive facilities for crafts. Outdoor facilities include an Olympic size pool, tennis courts, a huge activity field, a neighboring river for canoeing, campfire areas, and much more. Overall, the camp offers a diverse array of enjoyable options for indoor and outdoor activities in an attractive setting. Forest Acres is approximately (3) hours driving distance from Greater Boston, a ride that is scenic and easy with directions that are provided with the registration material.

Beloved concelebrants and faithful Christians,
St. Xenia Camp Leadership continues to work diligently to keep the cost of camper registration
affordable to all. With roughly $45,000 in projected costs, and given the financial hardships of
so many, I hope that those who are able will consider financially supporting the mission of the
camp in one of the following ways.
In Christ,
+M Demetrius
___________________________________________________________________________

Sponsor a camper- help a parish or family give their youth a unique Orthodox experience, by
supporting the camper scholarship fund.

$395 sends a camper who may otherwise be unable to attend.
*Last year was a record year for sponsorship requests, so help is needed.

Sponsor a counselor- many of our young leaders volunteering as counselors are in need of
assistance with transportation costs.

$100 provides 1 counselor stipend, supporting a week of service to our youth.

Set the table- help our kitchen fuel the camp with fasting feasts for all ages. With 175-200
attendees expected, that’s a lot of mouths to feed!

$100 feeds a camper or counselor for the week!

Sponsor a meal in memory of a loved one, remembrance of a patron saint or saint
celebrated during camp week (August 3-9; 16-22 N.S.), or for the feast of the
Transfiguration of our Savior.
(Contact the directors at [email protected] to discuss what this could involve)

Many blessed years for the feast of our patron, Saint Xenia!

This icon was painted as a group effort by many of our campers and staff at Saint Xenia Camp 2025!

May Saint Xenia continue to intercede for our campers, staff, camp families, and community.

Beloved concelebrants and faithful Christians,

I wish to remind you all that the July 1st deadline for camper and volunteer registrations for St. Xenia Camp 2025 is fast approaching. You can register online at the St. Xenia Camp website saintxeniacamp.com

Additionally, if you cannot offer alms in the form of volunteer service, you can still help keep the cost of camp affordable for all. With roughly $43,000 in expenses during the last camp year, and given the financial hardships many are experiencing, I hope that those who are able will consider financially supporting the mission of the camp in one of the following ways:

● Sponsor a camper: help a parish or family give their youth a unique Orthodox experience, by supporting the camper scholarship fund. $395 sends a camper who may otherwise be unable to attend. There are already numerous requests for sponsorship this year, so help is
needed.

● Sponsor a counselor: while many of our youth choose to volunteer as counselors, many are college students in need of assistance with transportation costs, and our modest stipend. $100 helps support 1 counselor stipend to provide a week of service to the future of the Church.

● Become a benefactor of St. Xenia Camp: every $25 or $50 donation helps support the vast array of activities, training, and equipment that goes into supporting this all-volunteer camp.
