Bardejov Camp





We have returned from our second and last camp of the summer. As you all probably know from your own experiences, it is good to be back at home. This second camp was with the youth group and students from our town here in Bardejov. This is especially nice because we will remain in contact with these students that we have gotten to know, as we will continue to see them around town and have opportunities to get together with them.

We truly enjoyed having my parents at the camp with us! Mom helped in an English class, and mostly took care of our kids while we were in class and while doing activities with the students. Dad also helped in an English class, and also performed magic tricks to further illustrate the scriptural theme of each evening program. His magic was a hit!! Both Mom and Dad were constantly chatting with students and developing relationships with these high school and college kids. At almost every single meal they enjoyed visiting with these three high school guys and the camp nurse. We believe that everyone really loved seeing the stability of their good marriage and experiencing their evident Godly wisdom and were truly drawn to them! We are all hoping that they come back to the same camp again next year and continue being an example of Christ's love to everyone there!

Our kids absolutely loved every part of camps! The Slovak students, Slovak youth group teams, American teams and Interns all were so good with our kids! Even the camp cooks brought special treats to our kids. Our kids were constantly playing with, eating with, riding on, swinging beside, sitting on, and talking to these older kids and adults who treated them so kindly. They are already looking forward to next summer's camps!
