With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, the Archdiocese District Summer Camping Ministry, Camp Saint Paul 2026 joyfully completed five transformative weeks of Orthodox Christian fellowship, worship, and spiritual formation under this year’s theme, “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Throughout the summer, our campers were challenged to trust God when the path is unclear, choose Christ in a world filled with distractions, and embrace their true calling.  Not simply to be successful, but to become saints.

Reflecting on this year’s theme, His Eminence shared these words adapted for Camp Saint Paul 2026: “Never be afraid to let Christ write the story of your life. The world will ask you to walk by what you can see, but our Lord calls us to walk by faith: to trust Him, to serve His Church, and to become saints in every generation.”

As another blessed summer comes to a close, we pray that every camper leaves Camp Saint Paul with the courage to walk by faith, knowing that Christ is leading every step of their journey.
