Teens from all over the Metropolis of Atlanta are gather together during five weeks of the summer months at the Diakonia Retreat Center for Saint Stephen's Summer Camp.

Campers wake up each morning; attend Orthros; rotate through camp activities such as crafts, sports, swim and ropes course; attend a Vespers service; and spend time in fellowship with one another during exciting evening activities planned by the volunteer staff.

This year camp has the theme #LetUsAttend and focuses on teaching campers about the Divine Liturgy. 

On a surface level, campers have fun canoeing, making bracelets in the Art Barn, challenging themselves on the ropes course, and throwing water balloons during the Olympics. They grow their friendships with each other and immerse themselves in our faith. But most importantly, they learn to trust God and what He has provided for them and for all of us.
