It's good that they start from the age of 13, at this age the boys are already bored with ordinary children's activities. In Białystok, a similar club operates next to the Orthodox church and the kids like outdoor games and conversations with the priest. I wonder if there will be any trips to the swimming pool or sports in Kemerovo, because it always attracts people.

Sounds like a solid idea starting at 13. Our choir director here in San Francisco always says that's when the boys start drifting if it's just coloring pages and snacks. Hope they keep the outdoor games going strong; the street hockey nights at our parish hall are what keep half the teens showing up.

We also tried a club for teenagers at the church in Vinnytsia, starting at the age of 13 — and indeed, the younger ones got bored quickly. It is good that in Kemerovo there will be games on the street and conversations with priests, it will keep. And are they planning any other master classes, for example, on baking or gardening?

Here in Niš, a similar club for teenagers started last year, from the age of 13, because the younger ones just want to run and play. My son is in kindergarten, so he's not ready for that yet, but I'm already thinking how nice it will be when he grows up and can go to those talks with the priest and play outside. I wonder if they will make some simple cakes in Kemerovo after the games, that would help them bond a lot.
