Summer Camps 2018, Part 1 – Champs Camp

My summers are usually mostly spent in organizing, leading, and/or participating in various camp ministries. There is also always at least one group of Americans who come to help with one or more of the camps. The first camp this summer was our Champs Camp, which was held in two different locations in Zagreb on July 18-21. This was the 8th year we have organized these two Champs Camps. Each summer around 100 neighborhood school-age children enjoy a lot of fun through Bible lessons, crafts, games, skits, and lots of singing. This year we had a fantastic group of 12 teens and 8 adults come to help from the Southside Church of Christ, in Lexington, Kentucky. We also had a group of almost 20 Croatian teenagers who helped with the camp. This year we added something new to the week of activities. For the weekend before camp, we had all the American and Croatian teenagers together in the little nearby town of Samobor, for training, fellowship, and getting to know each other. Then we worked camp all together. Then, after camp, we took all the American and Croatian teens for an overnight and beach day together on the island of Krk. It was a great week. Please continue to pray for these young lives.
