The 2017 Hungarian Reformed Youth Camp, jointly sponsored by the Calvin Synod and the Hungarian Reformed Church in America, was held from July 16-22 at the Laurelville Mennonite Church Center, Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania.

In attendance were 29 young people, 24 girls and 5 boys. Ten of the young people were related to a Calvin Synod congregation.

Of the 29, five were Junior Campers, meaning they have not yet been confirmed. There was a special program for this group, led by Rev. Judit Mayer with the assistance of Matt Nunn, a long-time camper and now a Counselor.

There was a total of 19 adults present as counselors, most of them in direct contact with the young people on a perpetual basis. The adults had varying responsibilities by the schedule of the day, leading Bible Study, workshops and other activities.

Six of the adults were related to a Calvin Synod congregation: Rt. Rev. Koloman K. Ludwig, Co-Camp Director; Rev. Judit Mayer, Junior Camper Leader; Maryann Parsons, Camp Coordinator; Katie Slemp, Activities Leader and Friday Main Speaker; Gretchen Sutto, Praise Worship Leader and Bible Study Workshop Leader; and Barbara Watkins, Camp Treasurer.

Additional adults in attendance from Calvin Synod congregations: Rev. Lisa Kerestesi, Bethlen Communities Spiritual Care Chaplain, was present to lead a Bible Study Workshop in the afternoons and was also the program coordinator for the Main Speaker presentation on Wednesday at Bethlen Communities; Lehel Deák, Chief Elder of the New York congregation and his wife Rev. Anita Fogarasi, Supply Pastor in New York, were there every day participating; Rev. Peter Toth and Jonathon Settle were there from Lorain Ohio for three days; Joseph
