**SOUTH CANAAN, PA —** The Youth Ministries Department of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania [has announced](https://doepa.org/news/4314/volunteer-and-counselor-applications-remain-open/) 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.
