Registration Continues for Ruskoka, the Only Russian Orthodox Camp in Canada

Ruskoka is a camp for Russian Orthodox youth, ages 12-16, under the Eastern Canadian Diocese. This year, camp is scheduled for July 31-August 13.

Its name, short for "Rus on the Muskoka," was given to one of the most picturesque stretches of the Muskoka River, some two hundred kilometers from Toronto.

The program consists of catechism study, sports activities, hikes, rock climbing, canoeing, etc. Divine services are held in the new chapel dedicated to the Royal Martyr St Alexis.

Children live in tents. They are given delicious, nutritious meals, and medical care is available.

This summer, 45 children are expected for "Rus on the Muskoka." Early registration is required. For further information, please call (416) 483-2441 or via e-mail at: george@ruskoka.com.
