Educational summer camp for young old-believers in Alyoshino near Egorievsk
"The Old Beliver", ¹ 26, October 2002

In July 2002 an educational summer camp for the youth was organized at the village of Alyoshino, Egorievsk district, Moscow region by Egorievsk Old-believing congregation, Egorievsk Historical museum and the District Administration.

16 boys and girls were camping near St. George old-believing church for 2 weeks. They managed to collect the valuable material about history and culture of the local Orthodox old-believing. They also took a trip to Moscow where they visited The Roublev Museum of Ancient Russian Art and Culture and Rogozhskaya temple. The camp was being visited by rev. Vasily (Kadochnikov), rev. Fedor (Vorozheikin), a specialist for the local brass casting A. Antonyokov and historian V. Smirnov.

The boys and girls had called themselves "Gouslaki - 2002" because of "Gouslitsy", the name of the local historical province. They also were helping to clean and landscape the church territory. The camp is gonna happen again perhaps with a participation of the old-believing youth from another regions.
