It is good that several camps are operating in Fthiotida this summer. I liked that they mentioned "SΩΤΗΡ" in Eleutherochore, and "ΖΩΗ" near the Dadi monastery, and the one on the beach in Livanate - the children will have a choice. In Kharkiv Oblast, we used to be driven on such cars, and our daughters still remember it.

It is good that this year there are four camps in Phtiotis at the same time. I am especially glad that they mentioned the "ΣΩΤΗΡ" in Eleutherochori and the one near the Dadija monastery — children really have a lot to choose from. Here in Serbia, such church camps are rarely organized in this way.

It's good that you mentioned "СΩΤΗΡ" in Eleutherochore and the other two - indeed, there is a choice for children. In our Lviv region, they used to take people to similar camps near the monastery, and my son still remembers how they gathered mushrooms in the forest there. What kind of camps did you have in Kharkiv Oblast?

Yes, there really is a choice, and it's good that places like this work. Our children used to be taken to a camp near the Holy Intercession Monastery in Pecheneg near Kharkov - both of my children were there, and they still remember going to morning prayers and then picking berries in the forest. And in which monastery was your son in the Lviv region?

Yes, "СΩΤΗΡ" in Eleutherochor has really been working for a long time, the children are fine there. They took us near Poltava to a camp near the monastery in Hustin, my boys also loved the forest, especially when after the liturgy you could just go for a walk. And in which monastery in the Lviv region was your son?

Yes, "СΩΤΗΡ" really lasts a long time and well. My son went to the camp near the monastery of St. John the Theologian in Kremenets, he also enjoyed the forest after the liturgy. And how many days did your boys go to Hustin?
