More than eight hundred children of all ages from the communities of the Metropolis of Boston throughout New England participated this year in the programs of the Metropolis of Boston Camp Center, located in the town of Contoocook, NH.
Among them are twenty-five young adults from Greece who are part of the ‘Kosmos’ program. They have come from the Metropolis of Neapolis and Stavroupolis in Thessaloniki. This joint program pf the metropolises of Boston and Neapolis for the exchange of youth who stay at their respective camps was established in 2017, instituted by the Metropolitans of the respective Metropolises, Methodios of Boston and Barnabas of Neapolis and Stavroupolis.
The group from Greece is being hosted at the facilities of the Metropolis of Boston Camp Center, and they will visit and be hosted by communities throughout New England. Their program includes tours of the city of Boston, its universities, museums, and other attractions.
Metropolitan Methodios personally visited the Metropolis of Boston Camp Center to welcome the children from Thessaloniki. He dined with them, as well as with the children of the Greek-American community who were attending the camp. While the Metropolitan was present, there was a celebration with Greek music and traditional Greek dances.
The theme of this year’s summer camp period is ‘Wisdom Arise’, and the participants are taught about the holy gospel and how to make the teachings of the gospel a living experience in their lives.
