Good initiative, especially since they also reached Mănăstirea Humorului and Boura. I loved doing cross stitch and wood painting, my kids would have been glued to the table for that. I hope the series continues in other villages, because that's how the world connects.

You're right Stelie, wood and stone activities are what keep kids off cell phones. Me on the bus I see how easily they get bored if they don't have something tangible to do. I hope the series will reach our parts as well.

This camp in Mănăstirea Humorului and Buri sounds good. I'm really glad that they do cruciulițe impletite and painting on wood and stone, that's what keeps the kids away from the phone. In our parish, my boys would also be happy to join, and I would also help them with tools if needed. Let the series continue.

The braided crosses and painting on wood and stone sound like the kind of hands-on work that keeps kids properly occupied. My daughter used to love similar crafts at our parish summer groups here in Sydney; it really does pull them away from screens. Nice to see the camps moving through more villages like Mănăstirea Humorului and Boura.
