ABOUT CAMP

Diocesan Serbian Sisters Circle

The Diocesan Serbian Sisters Circle operates summer camp in the name of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of New Gracanica-Midwestern America. The Diocesan Kolo Srpskih Sestara (KSS) maintains Midwest Diocese Camp at New Gracanica. Through a Camp Committee, the sisters upgrade the facilities, coordinate the staff, and plan the camp season. They also care for the children as if they were their own. Modern camp facilities are located in the Administration Building where dormitory rooms, dining facilities, and classrooms are available.

Besides the Camp Director, who is appointed by the Bishop, there is a Camp Priest each week who attends to the spiritual needs of the children. Counselors and workers provide daily supervision.

The atmosphere of the monastery grounds at Gracanica provides an ideal atmosphere for the variety of religious, sports, social and cultural activities that occur at camp.
