Where tradition
and the future

SerbianCamp is more than a summer camp - it is a homecoming. A project under the patronage of H.R.H. Crown Prince Philip and Princess Danica of Serbia, organized by the Royal Foundation and Serbian Times.

Our Story

A dream of the diaspora becomes reality

SerbianCamp was born as a shared dream of two worlds - one in America and one in the homeland - brought together by the life story of the Royal Family Karađorđević. Antonije Kovačević, owner of the Serbian Times portal from Chicago, and the Royal Foundation of H.R.H. Crown Prince Philip and Princess Danica of Serbia came together around a single question.

How can our children, born under the skies of America and around the world, like the Serbian princes Peter, Philip and Alexander, stay connected to their roots - to the culture, language and history of the Serbian people? A question they too have asked themselves many times.

Over seven days filled with friendship, song, art and the scent of the homeland, we connect young Serbs from the diaspora with their roots and their peers from the homeland. Under the patronage of the Royal Family and with the support of the diaspora's leading media outlet, we create a space where Serbian calligraphy, the Cyrillic script, traditional singing and dancing are learned - and where lifelong friendships are born.

Two pillars of one mission

Behind SerbianCamp stand two institutions that have, each in its own sphere, safeguarded the voice and identity of the Serbian people for years - one in the homeland, the other in the diaspora.

Inspired by the legacy and deeds of their ancestors, H.R.H. Crown Prince Philip and H.R.H. Princess Danica, founders of the Foundation, preserve Serbian cultural and historical heritage and carry forward the tradition and the cultural, moral and creative inspiration of earlier generations of the Karađorđević dynasty - with a particular focus on the innovation and modern ideas they champion, supporting educational, humanitarian and cultural projects that connect the Serbian people and their rich tradition with the modern age.

A message to our children

No one can take your roots from you - they are forever a part of who you are. It is our duty to preserve them and pass them on, so that our children, wherever they may live, proudly carry the identity of the Serbian people in their hearts.
