	Federation of Serbian Sisters The Federation of Serbian Sisters Circles operates the camps in the name of the Diocese. The Midwest Region Kolo maintains the Camp at New Gracanica. Through a Camp Committee , the Sisters upgrade the facilities, coordinate the staff and plan the camp season. They also care for the children as if they were their own. Modern Camp facilities are located in the Administration Building , where dormitory rooms, dining facilities and classrooms are available.
