Youth Summer Camp at Modrá skala – Blue Rock, Monongahela National Forest is a popular summer activity for families with young children.
The idea for a youth summer camp came about in 2002. Sokol Washington parents with small children were seeking a summer activity that would expose their children to a variety of outdoor adventures and sports – climbing, camping, hiking, swimming, canoeing. They also were hoping to give their children an opportunity to socialize with Moravian, Czech and Slovak peers at camp fires, with songs and story-telling time, and with themes that would foster their Czech and Slovak language skills and appreciation of their heritage.
All are welcome and for those interested, please contact brother Miroslav Honzak.
