Summer camps organized by Bethania offer opportunities for fun and adventures to children of all ages.

The school year in Moldova ends end of May. This year we tried to involve most of our beneficiaries in camps and take in consideration all their needs. For children from orphanages and boarding schools we organized thee residential treatment camps. About 70 children from Straseni, Popeasca and Bulboaca boarding schools had the possibility to learn more about their medical condition and receive medical help from specialists. In additional to usual camp activities like games, sports, hadcrafts, and trips, the program was designed to meed individual medical needs of every child.

From June 27 to July 1st, 40 children from Bulboaca rested in  the camp from Cioburciu. They had five days full of activities and fun. The teachers from the Day Care Center, one teacher from Bulboaca Public School and two leaders from Cioburciu organized and run the camp activities.

The children played outdoor games, made trips in the woods. The camping experience completed with a camp fire. They sang songs and played games around the campfire. We believe they will keep these memories for a long time.

On the other side, the children from Tintareni had the possibility to enjoy the day camps at the Christian Center.  The first camp started on June 13. We plan to have three day camps. Each of the camp lasts 10 days and starts daily at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The first two camps are organized by our local team of staff and volunteers. The third camp is planned and carried through along with a Dutch team from Emness, Holland.

Running a summer camp is a challenge. We start to prepare the program long time before. We are grateful to every person who contributes to the well running of the each camp: to our sponsors, without whose financial help we wouldn’t be able to run them. to our staff who make all the preparations necessary, to our volunteers whose dedication and energy encourages us every year and most of all to our loving God who entrusted these children to us to love and care for.
