BEGINNINGS... This is part of the same complex as the Most Holy Mother of God Monastery. The property was acquired in 1951. The camp offers an opportunity for youth in the Diocese to learn more about Orthodox Christian life. Campers form friendships that last for years and years. Each week of camp is well-organized with considerable thought invested in the balance of worship, instruction, and recreation.
Shadeland Camp is located at a scenic rural location in Crawford County, Pennsylvania near the border of Erie County. Campers have been coming to St. Sava Camp - Shadeland since the 1950's.
Improvements are being made in the program and physical facilities annually. Campers are well-fed and stay in clean facilities. A new dormitory was completed last year and another is being plannedA swimming pool was added a few years ago to compliment the lake where fishing is popular. The camp chapel and the large church are used for the religious services held during camp season.
Two priests are assigned to the camp each week to conduct classes and religious services. His Grace Bishop Dr. MITROPHAN normally visits the camp weekly and sits and talks with the campers. Representatives of the Federation of the Circle of Serbian Sisters have been a mainstay at the camp contributing to its operation throughout its existence. Campers coming to St. Sava Camp - Shadeland enjoy the present experience and invest in the future.
