The first significant event in the new year will be the opening of a new session of the Vityaz camp, which will begin work on January 13. About 80 children and teenagers from Russian-speaking families in Australia are going to visit the camp. The organization’s goal is to bring up children of Russian Orthodox traditions, reports Unification, a Russian newspaper in Australia.
Vityazi has branches in many countries of the world, groups of children and adolescents go on hikes, visit holy places, conduct educational activities.
In the Australian camp of Vityazi teenagers are going to live in tents for two weeks, go hiking, play sports, prepare for a big concert and attend meetings with Orthodox priests in Australian parishes. A trip to the camp is a great opportunity to find new friends and educate, as well as communicate with peers in Russian.
Before the start of the camp the head of the Vityazi organization, Donat Zakrochimsky, announced that the construction of a chapel on campus was nearing its end. The first service is scheduled to take place during the session in January.
