What is awakening: ORV 2020 Summer?

In short, this is a Virtual Camp experience especially developed for students facing the cancellation of so many camps, mission trips, days of service, retreats, and the list could go on and on...

We hope you can "come" and by your presence you connect with other students, with adult leaders, help children in the Cincinnati area have educational support, and most importantly you experience an awakening allowing you to deepen your relationship with God.
