English Camp!

So, last week started the end of my volunteer service... or at least, the last big chunk of it. At the end of June, we began hosting a series of English language camps, baseball camps, women's camp, VBS camps and Roma camps in a handful of towns around the area. We started in Cinobana with an English camp and had a ton of fun. A small group of 5 young volunteers came to teach English during the last week of school and lead a program full of song, sport, story and craft in the afternoons. We had a blast doing it and great weather for the week. It was a fun and relaxing way to start off and get into the mood for camp!



This week, a much larger, more diversely-aged group has arrived for the English women's and baseball camps in Lucenec. These three camps are happening simultaneously and on a bigger scale than in Cinobana. Since the school year is officially done, this camp is truly a summer camp, rather than required schooling. There are a little over 100 children signed up for camp and we are almost halfway through the two-week camp.

On Saturday I will be leaving for a Roma camp in nearby Jelsava and then following that camp with one more English camp in Velky Krtis and finally we will top the year off with an overnight English/VBS camp in Rackova Dolina, the beautiful retreat center that we visited in February.

More info on the rest of camps when they come!
