MEET THIS YEAR'S STAFF

Summer Staff 2019

Kristina Anastasiades
Kristina was born and raised in Towson, Maryland where she attends St. Nicholas in Baltimore, MD. While studying Music Education (K-12) at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School of Music, she attends the St. George Cathedral in Hartford, CT. Kristina was immediately in awe of MBC after she walked onto the camp grounds for her first OCF Fall Regional Retreat. Kristina then went to meet some of the MBC staff and witnessed their genuine love for MBC and all that Christ has willed to be done through it. On the last night of the OCF retreat, walking back to her cabin, she looked up at the night sky and gazed at the brilliant stars shining down on her. Never before had she seen such beauty in the night sky. She knew then, that this wouldn’t be the last time she was in this magical place. Giving back to MBC and representing all that it stands for is the greatest privilege Kristina could be given, and she hopes to bring the magic of our Orthodox faith to her campers!
