ORPR CAMP
ЛАГЕРЬ ОРПР
A SUMMER TRADITION
Nestled in the scenic heart of northern Illinois, ORPR Camp offers a unique month-long experience for Russian Orthodox youth. Immerse yourself in a vibrant community where you'll deepen your understanding of your faith through engaging classes on religion, culture, and history. Learn valuable scouting skills, participate in exciting activities like swimming, hiking, and scavenger hunts, and gather around crackling campfires under starry skies.
For over 60 years, ORPR has been a cherished tradition, fostering lifelong friendships and memories.
Nina (nee Mezencev) Hammons (October 11, 2024)
ORPR Camp mourns the loss of Nina (nee Mezencev) Hammons who reposed in the Lord, October 11, 2024 at the age of 63. Nina was the daughter of Tatiana (nee Mezencev) Brown and a younger sister to Vera and Kyra. Nina had been residing in Oklahoma with her husband, Kenneth, and two sons, Aleksai and Zach. Nina is well remembered by many campers circa 1970s. Many recall her lively laugh, bright smile, and in her youngest days - for her two long ponytails she often donned. May Nina rest in peace and have memory eternal.
