We've seen tremendous growth in our children from their time at MBC. They come home each summer transformed and renewed in their faith, with beautiful, long lasting friendships, and full of stories of their fun week. We are so thankful to MBC for giving our children this incredible experience." -MBC PARENT |
Theme based learning
Each year, the MBC program is structured around a theme, which informs Orthodox Life sessions, homilies from clergy, conversations amongst the cabin, and the overall ethos of the program over the course of the theme year. The theme is carefully selected to support young people in understanding, applying, and living their faith in their daily life. |
MBC's 2024 Theme:"Wisdom, Arise!"Taken from the divine services, this call reminds us to spiritually arise, and attend to the wisdom of the Church. By heeding this call, we are reminded to "arise" fully into our lives, gleaning the wisdom of the church through the scriptures, the Liturgy, and the lives of the saints. This year, campers will have the opportunity to "Arise!" in their spiritual life and learn together, alongside our clergy, leadership team, and staff, as they step into the wisdom of Christ's Church.

We believe in the power of summer camp
The evidence is clear - summer camp has tremendous benefits. From learning to live with greater independence, share space with others, effectively communicate, solve problems, develop leadership skills, learn about the great outdoors, form strong bonds with peers and incredible relationships with mentors, the benefits are truly endless. Add to that instruction in the faith, opportunities for spiritual growth, and living in an authentically Orthodox Christian community, by allowing our young people to experience camp, we are providing them with tools and resources that will be vital for their future; both as community members, and Christians.
