SOUTH CANAAN, PA — The Youth Ministries Department of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania has announced that counselor applications remain open for the upcoming season of St. Tikhon’s Summer Camp.
Held on the grounds of St. Tikhon’s Monastery, the annual camp brings together Orthodox Christian youth from across the diocese for a week centered on prayer, fellowship, and outdoor activities. Counselors serve as mentors and leaders, guiding campers through daily programs, games, and participation in services while helping foster an environment where young people can grow in faith and build lasting friendships.
The department is also seeking additional volunteers, including recent high-school graduates who may serve as Counselors-in-Training. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, submit references—including one from clergy—and complete required background checks and youth protection clearances before participating.
Individuals interested in serving as counselors are encouraged to apply here.
Previously, the UOJ reported that St. Tikhon’s Monastery published a powerful new video on monastery life.
