Does your family have any plans after Christmas? Well, you should! Families across the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco are invited to join us for a Metropolis Family Winter Camp at Saint Nicholas Ranch and Retreat Center in Dunlap, CA from Wednesday, December 27 through Saturday, December 30, 2023. This event, offered by the Metropolis Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, is open to the entire family. Youth under the age of 18 cannot attend without a parent or chaperone, and must stay in a family room with their parent or with chaperone over the age of 18.

Let’s celebrate the family this Nativity season and gather for a wonderful four-day camp, packed with fun and adventure while growing closer to Christ and each other! Enjoy fellowship and fun activities at the Ranch, visit the Monastery of the Theotokos the Life-Giving Spring, and play in the snow on our field trip to Kings Canyon National Park. With engaging activities for the whole family, let’s ascend to the mountains and enjoy the last few days of 2023 together at our beloved Ranch!

Retreat registration is open and costs $185 per person (includes 9 meals and program supplies). Children 5 and under are free. Housing options are a separate cost ranging from $255 - $350 per room (Lodge Rooms and Dorm Rooms available). Visit www.gosfyouth.org/family for more information.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to the Ranch!
