This year’s Sunday School Camp was held on 24-26 September at Challenge Ranch in Somersby, about an hour north of Sydney. It represented the 10th year the camps have been running, accommodating children aged 10-12 from various Greek Orthodox parishes of Sydney as well as some students from scripture classes. This year, 83 students and 15 leaders attended, with the theme of the camp being “Sacred Sites”. The children were divided into five groups, each group examining one of the following sites: St Sophia in Constantinople, St Demetrios in Thessalonike, Great Meteoro monastery at Meteora, Mega Spelaio monastery near Kalavryta and St Theodora of Vasta. It was a hugely successful camp, with the highlight being the Divine Liturgy Service conducted by Abbot Eusebios from Pantanassa Monastery.
