As we continue looking for ways to support our families and provide meaningful activities for our children, we are so excited to start the St. Anthony Church Summer Day Camp. We are exploring the possibility of starting a Church Summer (Full) Day Camp this coming summer from June through August.
The camp would filled with a spiritual program that is centered on our Orthodox Faith, the church and the saints combined with fun activities, learning, and growing in fellowship together.
Before moving forward, we would like to get a general idea of how many families might be interested in having their children participate. This will help us determine whether we can responsibly plan and staff the program.
If you think your family might be interested, please take a moment to fill out the short interest form at the link below:
St. Anthony Church Summer Camp
https://forms.gle/s68bHj3MHxVdJxbD8
The form simply asks for basic information such as:

· Parent name
· Number of children who may attend
· Potential weeks of interest

This is not a commitment to enroll. It is only meant to help us gauge interest as we explore the possibility of offering the camp.
Our hope is to create a safe, joyful environment where children can:

· Grow in their faith and love for the Church
· Build friendships within the community
· Participate in fun activities, games, and learning
· Learn some of the prayers of the church and attend the Divine Liturgy
Please complete the form by Wednesday 3/18/26 so we can begin evaluating the next steps.
Thank you for helping us explore this opportunity for our children and families.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Fr John Bishara at 551-998-6543.
