Our town is Bardejov, and KECY is the name of all of Slovakia's JV English Camps. We went to only one camp this year, as opposed to the two we went to last summer. We went to the one that was with our town’s youth. It was great to see so many of the students return from last year. Some of the team who came from Atlanta to do the camp also returned from last year…what a fun reunion it was! The Atlanta team came so well prepared to teach the English classes and run many of the other activities and events. The Slovak team from our local church here also did an amazing job at planning the spiritual lessons and activities, as well as many of the other games and events. Together these two teams worked so hard in the planning and the implementing, that the week was a great success in all ways! The students were able to hear of the great sacrifice that Jesus made for all of us when He died to offer us eternal life with Him. Many of these students have a religious background, but haven’t heard of the possibility to have a real relationship with the God of the universe and His Son, Jesus Christ. So our prayer is that this message would have spoken loudly and clearly to them, in order that they will desire that relationship with Jesus themselves.
Ed enjoyed his role of overseeing the camp, of working with both the Slovak and the American teams to make it a great camp. He also joined one of the groups for activities and competitions, as Ed is always ready for another competition! This also allowed him to spend more time with the students, because when he is overseeing, it is harder to get to know the students in the groups. As I mentioned in the post about my parents, I loved teaching the English class, and look forward to spending time throughout the year with the girls in that group!
Our kids love camp...and really just try to blend in with the students. Jayce and Tate joined teams for the competitions, and their teams did great including our boys as part of their groups! It's fun to watch our kids talking with the students, and joining right in with all of the activities.
