Well done to the guys from Valcea. I liked that they started and ended each day with prayer and that they also went to the Monastery of Saint Panteleimon. It is good that they learn from a young age to cooperate and pray together.

The young people from "Sfântul Valentin" did well to keep the order with the morning and evening prayer every day. I also liked the visit to the Saint Pantelimon Monastery, the children surely remembered it even after the camp. I can see what a commotion there was at the treasure hunt.

Десислава Илиева

Well done to these St. Valentine youngsters. I love that they started and ended each day with prayer and that they took the kids to St. Panteleimon Monastery - it's so peaceful there. And the "magical" treasure hunt must have been great fun, kids love that kind of thing.

Yes, the morning and evening prayer kept everything connected, you can feel the difference in the children. I remember the visit to the Gendarmerie School in Dragășani, they were fascinated by those uniforms. Have you been with them to other camps, Anca?

Raluca Gheorghiu

Yes, prayer clearly made a difference, you can see how they gather more quietly. The visit to the gendarmes really got them, especially the uniforms and demonstrations. I didn't go to other camps with them this year, but last summer I went to one in Cozia, also with glass painting workshops. What did you notice most about the children?

Anca Tudor

Yes, the morning and evening prayer really made them calmer, you could see how they listened in the workshops. At the gendarmes, I was more impressed by the practical demonstrations, not just the uniforms. You at Cozia, which glass painting workshop did the children like the most?
