MBC Family Summer Camp

After having run a successful youth camp with both winter and summer programs for over twenty years, His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios set his ever expanding goal and vision on offering family ministry with the same unique MBC camping experience. With the completion of the Retreat House in the fall of 2009, work began on the first ever Family Camping Program at MBC. In the winter of 2010 this new ministry exploded onto the camping scene with our first (and soon to become annual) Family Winter Camp. This wildly successful program was followed up by its sister program Family Summer Camp, which resounded with just as much success. Since these first two programs in 2010, each time we gather together for this unique camp we have a full house!

 

What Do We Do?

Family Summer camp is the opportunity for families to step away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and connect with each other as well as other families and friends from across our New England Metropolis. Our week together will be a combination of family, adult and camper activities, with a variety of options so that everybody can find something they want to do. We bring speakers in to hold discussions with the adults ranging on a variety of topics from individual spirituality, to parenting and relationships. Our incredibly dedicated and talented camp staff take our younger campers and run our best camp activities with them such as Sounding Board, Arts & Crafts, Fun & Games and Orthodox Life. After having some free time in the afternoon, we kick our night off by gathering for Vespers and participating in a family evening activity together such as campfires, glendis, and talent shows. Our week culminates in the celebration of Divint Liturgy together on Sunday morning as one community.

Where Do We Stay?

Camp is no longer a rustic cabin in the woods with roll out camping mattresses. Our program participants stay in the Retreat House which features 35 individual guest rooms that are complete with two double beds and a private bath. Additionally, the Retreat House is home to the maginificant Great Room with its Cathedral style ceilings which make it a wonderfully cozy and beutiful place for families to hang out with each other and get to know other families as well. For those more active campers the Retreat House also has a game room and play room to help provide entertainment! If you would like to come visit our Camp and Retreat House to see what it like just contact our camp office to schedule a visit - mbcamp@boston.goarch.org or 603-746-4400
