2012 Orthodox Christian Camp, Youth Worker & OCF Chaplain Conference 

This conference has a long history in several different forms.  The purpose as it exists today is to bring all Orthodox Christians doing youth ministry at any level and in any form together for several days to further our education, foster brotherhood and provide fellowship.  We will have a several keynote addresses from Fr Bogdan Bucur, Assistant Professor at Duquesne University, a series of workshops that are carved into three tracks (Youth Workers, Camp Staff & OCF Chaplains), daily services and fellowship so that we might get to know each other better.  Each year a different jurisdiction of the Orthodox Churches in the United States serves as host on behalf of all of us with the input and direction provided by the Orthodox Christian Camp Association and national Church Youth Department directors.
