A Fun-Filled Adventure of Faith, Friendship, and Learning

What a wonderful adventure we shared at the St. George Serbian Orthodox Church Summer Day Camp on June 4–5, 2026!

Our camp began with an exciting day at the beautiful YMCA Triangle Hills & Retreat Center in Crown Point. Surrounded by nature and scenic views, the children spent the day enjoying outdoor activities, making new friends, and creating lasting memories. Campers challenged themselves on the climbing wall, practiced their archery, played games, and explored the outdoors together.

On Friday, the fun continued right here on the grounds of St. George Church. While the children thoroughly enjoyed both days of camp, many said their favorite part was spending time together at their church. The day was filled with engaging activities, including Martin’s Service, a first-aid and hygiene presentation, a religion lesson, lunch, and a special question-and-answer session with Fr. Radovan.

One of the highlights of the day was the petting zoo, where campers met and fed a variety of animals. The children also enjoyed sports, playground time, an exciting water balloon fight, and a refreshing ice cream treat to end the day.

Throughout the camp, our young participants learned valuable lessons in faith, friendship, health, and service while enjoying plenty of fun and fellowship. Most importantly, they experienced the joy of being together as part of the St. George church family.

We are grateful to all the volunteers, presenters, parents, and supporters who helped make this year’s camp a great success. The kids had an absolute blast, and we are already looking forward to next year’s Summer Day Camp!

Thank you to everyone who made these two days so special. We can’t wait to do it again!
