Where: Attend this awesome weekend event at “The Grove” at All Saints Orthodox Church, 6004 South Fairfax Rd., Bloomington, IN 47401. All Saints sits south of the city on 24 mostly-wooded acres with quarry ponds and trails. Just an hour south of Indianapolis, Bloomington is home to the main campus of Indiana University. Visit www.allsaintsbloomington.org.
Who: All Orthodox teens are invited to come and bring their friends, as allowed by their chaperones. Non-teens are welcome to attend as well, but only SOYO members and their guests and chaperones are invited to camp on the church grounds. It is our hope and expectation that you will leave this event spiritually edified and uplifted by the music, prayer, teaching, games, and fellowship!
When: Arrival time begins at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 13th. Burgers, dogs, and bands begin around noon! Music, teaching, and events will continue through the late evening Saturday and follow the Divine Liturgy on Sunday. MOSMoF ends at 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
Cost of Admission: Each guest will pay $25.00 upon admission to the event. This includes everything but food.
Food: Lunch and dinner (including gyros, grilled burgers, and hot dogs) will be available for purchase at the event for just $5.00/plate! Water is free; sodas are extra.
Lodging: Teens and chaperones may camp free-of-charge at designated sites on the All Saints property. Campers will be separated by gender. Please bring tents, sleeping bags, and pillows. Bring bug repellant and a blanket to sit on during the concerts. There are no showers. Attendees may choose to stay at a local hotel at their chaperone's discretion.
Supervision: A chaperone of the same gender, over the age of 25, must accompany each group of 4 attendees. For example, a van carrying 4 teen boys and 2 teen girls requires one female and one male chaperone. Chaperones should plan to sleep wherever their respective teens are sleeping.
Liability: Teens must bring the completed release form (see website) for admission. Signature of a parent (or guardian) is required.
Clothing: Attire should be consistent with Antiochian Village Camp requirements. Shoes and shoulder-covering shirts are required during all waking hours. You won’t need muscle shirts, spaghetti-straps, tank tops, and skirts in the woods. Average temperatures range from 60-80 degrees this time of year.
A Word of Caution: Smoking, alcohol, drug use, and delinquent behaviors are prohibited and will result in attendees being sent home.
