Leaders and staff of Albanian Orthodox Church camps gathered at Saint John Vladimir Monastery on October 24, 2026, to review their summer work and share proposals for the following year. The meeting was reported by the Church’s official website.
Sharing experience across the camps
Camp leaders presented the season’s work, including new approaches, achievements, and challenges. Participants then discussed practical aspects of organizing and running the camps and offered ideas for the next season.
The report names the monasteries where the summer camps took place: the Dormition of the Mother of God at Zvërnec, Saint John Vladimir, the Dormition at Boboshticë, and Saint John the Forerunner at Voskopojë. The gathering brought together teams who had worked in different settings.
Thanks for the people behind the season
Metropolitan Nikola of Apollonia and Fier led the meeting. He thanked the leaders and their colleagues for their commitment to the camps and encouraged them to continue that work.
The report offers a glimpse of church life beyond a feast-day service. A summer camp depends on people willing to discuss organizational difficulties as well as successes. This gathering was a review of experience and an opportunity to plan, rather than the launch of a finished programme.
What has—and has not—been announced
Participants shared ideas for the coming year. The published account does not give dates, a programme, or registration arrangements for the next season.
Families interested in taking part should therefore look for a separate announcement from the organizers. Proposals discussed at a staff meeting should not be treated as an open invitation to register.
