Christ is in our midst!
With gratitude to God, Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church in St. Louis successfully concluded another joyful and spiritually enriching Summer Camp for our children, held June 2–4, 2026.
Over three wonderful days, our campers had a unique opportunity to grow in their Orthodox faith while building friendships and creating lasting memories. This year’s camp focused on the Ten Commandments, helping children learn how God’s commandments guide us in living faithful Christian lives. Through engaging lessons, discussions, singing, games, and hands-on activities, the children deepened their understanding of what it means to put God first in their lives.
A highlight of this year’s camp was the participation of Fathers Vladimir and Bojan, along with Protodeacon Jovan, who shared their knowledge, faith, and love for Christ with our young people. Their thoughtful presentations, discussions, and singing left a lasting impression on the children, who eagerly participated and asked insightful questions throughout the camp.
The children also enjoyed Serbian language instruction, learning the Cyrillic alphabet, traditional kolo dancing, outdoor games, fellowship, and many delicious meals and snacks prepared by our dedicated volunteers. Throughout the week, the campers demonstrated enthusiasm, kindness, respect, and a sincere desire to deepen their understanding of their Orthodox faith.
Although Fr. Radovan was unable to attend due to a family emergency, his presence was felt through the excellent curriculum he prepared on the Ten Commandments. Each child received a copy of the booklet he created, which served as the foundation for many of the camp’s lessons and discussions.
This year’s camp was made possible by the generosity and dedication of many faithful volunteers who gave countless hours of service. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who helped organize, teach, cook, lead activities, capture memories, prepare materials, and support the camp in any way. Your love and commitment helped create a Christ-centered environment where our children could learn, grow, and experience the beauty of Orthodox Christian fellowship.
We are especially grateful to our parents for entrusting their children to us and for making church camp a priority during a busy summer. Your support enables our youth ministry to continue planting seeds of faith that, with God’s help, will bear fruit for years to come.
As another successful camp ends, we thank God for His blessings and pray that the lessons learned, friendships formed, and memories made will remain in our children’s hearts throughout the year.
We invite everyone to enjoy the camp photo gallery and relive some of the wonderful moments from these three special days.
Most importantly, we pray that our campers will remember the week’s central lesson: to love God, trust God, and place Him first in every part of their lives.
