St. Xenia Camp had another successful camp week this year! The camp, in its 16th year, was held from August 18 to August 24 in the picturesque Fryeburg, Maine location. With almost 60 campers enrolled this year, camp activities included canoeing, swimming, enjoyable arts and crafts, various exciting indoor and outdoor games, a fun talent show, church services, and edifying clergy talks.
