This year's summer program continues with undiminished enthusiasm and success at the camps of our Holy Metropolis, "Uranoupoli", in the area of Makri, next to the Holy Monastery of Our Lady of Evros. After the completion of the first camp period for the Primary School boys, which lasted from July 2 to 9, 2026, with the participation of more than 90 children and the executives, from Friday July 10, "Uranoupoli" opened its gates to welcome the new group of Middle School and High School boys. A number of more than 125 teenage campers arrived at the site to begin a period full of intellectual activities, sports and creative coexistence in the natural environment of Makri.

The new, renovated sports facilities, swimming in the clear waters of our Thracian Sea and the spiritual cultivation of young people are again this year the main features of our camps, culminating, of course, in the participation in the Services, the Divine Liturgy and the partaking of the Immaculate Mysteries.

Χαίρομαι που τα παλάδα από το Θυμνάσιο και το Λύκειο είναι over 125 this year. Καλο είναι που περιάεχουν κολύμπι στο Θρακικό Πέλαγος και οτι ο πατήρ Δημήτριος Κεσκίνης είναι και παραστέρος. Εύχομαι να παρασην και και να μεν τος λεπισει νοτήσει.

The children of the Gymnasium and Lyceum are well over 125. Το κολύμπι στο Θρακικό Πελαγος και οι καινούργιες συλπτικές πληροφοριες είναι οτι για για τους τις ηλικίες. Ο πατήρ Δημήτριος Κεσκίνης knows how to keep them in order, I hope they pass ήσυχα και με ωφέλεια.

It's good that the 125 high school and high school children exceeded. The new sports facilities and swimming in the Thracian Sea are a must for these ages. Father Dimitrios Keskinis is doing well, I hope they have a good time and benefit.

It's good that the 125 high school and high school children exceeded. I remember last year they had less and they said they needed more hands for the services. Father Dimitrios Keskinis is solid value, I hope they don't miss anything with this number.

I am glad that more than 125 children from the gymnasium and lyceum gathered. It is good that they are again swimming in the clean water of the Thracian Sea and that Father Dimitri Keskinis is again in charge. Let everything go calmly, without fuss.

I am glad that more than 125 boys from gymnasiums and lyceums gathered this year. It is good that there is again swimming in the clean water of the Thracian Sea and new sports grounds - my son also likes this in the camp. May Father Dimitriy Keskinis continue to keep everything in order, without unnecessary fuss.

It's good that the 125 high school and high school children exceeded. I remember last year when the first week with primary schools had less and there were empty fields, this year with the new facilities and swimming in the Thracian Sea they will have filled them. Father Dimitrios Keskinis is stable, I hope they have a quiet time and benefit.

I'm glad for your son, Lesya, that he likes just such a calm atmosphere without fuss. Father Dimitrii Keskinis is also often mentioned in our church - he really knows how to keep order, so that the children not only run, but also have time to pray. And is your boyfriend going for the second time or for the first time in this shift?
