Register Now for 2011 Camp
The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco will again be sponsoring again this summer its second annual Greek Village Immersion Camp, “To Elliniko Horio”, which will be held June 18 – 25, 2011 at Saint Nicholas Ranch and Retreat Center in Dunlap, CA, for children ages 7 thru 14.
The Greek Immersion Camp is a program where children happily immerse themselves in a fun environment which bonds them to their ancestral heritage. With the guidance of skilled instructors, they will connect themselves with their language, customs, traditions and faith. New friendships will be created while the children attend classes in Greek language, cooking, geography, mythology, music, dance, theatre, and more.
The children will attend worship services daily and also have an opportunity to observe the monastic life at the Monastery of the Theotokos the Life Giving Spring which is adjacent to Saint Nicholas Ranch. Arts and crafts, swimming, basketball and volleyball are just a few of the many extracurricular activities included in the daily schedule.The 230 acre Saint Nicholas Ranch is nestled in the foothills of the Sequoia National Park. Its hiking trails, apple orchards, historic barn and lake provide the atmosphere of a traditional Greek Village to further enhance a truly cultural experience. Under the guidance and direction of the Metropolis Committee on Greek Education and Culture, the Greek Village will again be led by a team of highly qualified instructors, selected from various Greek language schools in the Metropolis. Activities will be divided based on age-appropriateness to facilitate learning and enhance the educational experience. Special discounts are available for families sending more than one child or for parents who wish to accompany their child to camp. Enrollment is limited so reserve your space today! The deadline for registration is April 30 so don’t delay!
