Special Events

We have already had 3 of the special events that have become tradition at this camp: American Night, Parent Day, and the camp trip.

American Night
It has become tradition to host an American Night on July 4th each year since Independence Day always falls while we are here at camp. With Josh and I being the only Americans, we were going to skip it this year. Thanks to Lukasz's encouragement, we didn't skip it, but everyone pitched in and it was a great time. As the pictures below show, Water Bombing Lukasz was a big "hit." Josh and Daniel drew a crowd at the softball throw, talented eaters showed up for the pie eating contest, and everyone knew how to strike a pose at the photo booth!



Parent Day
Parent day was an amazing day! It is always great to meet the children's parents, and we had a lot of time to talk with the children and get to know them better! A group of girls sang an amazing song, the children all sang worship songs for their parents, the parents were good sports about competing in games, we had a delicious cookout, and wrapped everything up with s'mores which always seem to be a hit. The couple who won the dance contest were presented with a Bible by Piotr, and they plan to visit the church in Krakow.


Camp Trip to Wisla
The camp trip to Wisla was a wonderful day to spend together and connect with the kids more. We ate  shopped, and did amusement type activities. The biggest hit was simply spending time at the Wisla River-the longest river in Poland. The source of the river is near the town of Wisla.

Pictures are on my phone, so I will add later!
