About Our Camps
For over four decades, families and youth from US and Canadian Slavic churches have gathered annually in the Pocono Mountains. These retreats are founded upon chasing God's heart in a Christ-centered atmosphere.
Attendees have seen salvation of souls, experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit, received healing, encountered deliverance, and were granted power through fellowship with Jesus and each other.
