WHAT TO EXPECT:
Camp will take place both indoors and outdoors. Your camper will need to bring a packed lunch. Please also bring a clearly labeled water bottle. The church will also have light snacks and water available, if needed. Small breakfast items will also be available from 8:45am-9:00am. Both campers and volunteers must be registered ahead of time to appropriately plan! There is a $5 fee for each camper that will be donated to our Outreach Food Pantry. Payment can be sent in to (or dropped off at) the church office by June 16th. Payments sent via mail should be sent to St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 3109 Scio Church Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48103, with a note indicating that the money is for VCS. Volunteers do not need to pay. If the registration fee is a problem for any family, please contact the church office for an accommodation.
 
Campers will learn about the Holy Sacraments of our church. The week will include participating in church services, attending educational sessions provided by our parish priest, playing indoor and outdoor games, making crafts, participating in a service project, and experiencing fun and fellowship with each other!
