This July, the Metropolis of San Francisco invites youth ages 8-18 to join us for the 2026 Metropolis Summer Camp at St. Nicholas Ranch & Retreat Center in Dunlap, CA. This exciting experience offers a chance to make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and deepen your faith. Online camper registration opens on February 1 at 2:00pm PST, and spots will fill up quickly!

Save the following dates for our parish's first ever, upcoming Vacation Church School (which will take place at our building at 424 E Butte) from July 22-24. Our program will be designed for children entering K-12 for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. This is open to all children in our community, whether or not they are Orthodox or attend our parish. Parents are welcome to attend with their younger children as volunteers or to support their older children in the program. Food will be provided in a rotation during the program based on classes/age groups. 

 

July 22 10:30AM-1:30PM (following Divine Liturgy)

July 23 10:30AM-1:30PM (following Divine Liturgy)

July 24 10:30AM-1:30PM

 

For those of our youth entering the 6th-12th grades there will also be a Service Project(s) and Ice Cream Social (July 24 from 4PM-7PM)

 

Please also make plans to attend Divine Liturgy on Sunday, July 26, as our Vacation Church School students will be presenting with their classes after service.

 

Forms will be available in the narthex for Vacation Church School registration following Divine Liturgy on Sunday, June 7. Please make sure to sign your children up at your earliest convenience to allow time for adequate planning and preparation of materials needed. More information regarding volunteer opportunities will be sent out in a separate email. Please reach out to Makrina Zambonini [jackrzambonini@gmail.com; 928-863-1844] with any questions or if interested in helping support the program. May it be a blessed opportunity for the youth of our parish and for our community overall! We look forward to seeing you and children there!
