It will be interesting for children to learn to set up tents and stay together for five days. The name of the excursion "Returning, we build" sounds good to me, it shows that they will also do something useful there. Who will be responsible for security?

It’s a good thing for the guys, five days in tents is not just games, but real science: setting up a tent and keeping things in order. The name “By returning, we create” is accurate, especially if they do something useful in the village. Who is the organizer, the parish or the local center?

Good news for kids, living in tents for five days really teaches them how to keep order and be together. I also like it if they do something useful in the village of Maksimov Pochinok. Who is the organizer, who will be responsible for the safety of teenagers?

Yes, the name suggests just that, that they will make something together and it won't just be a vacation. I would also like them to learn a little about the history of the village, if they have planned something like that. For safety, from what I know, they will be accompanied by the Markoupolis priest and two parents who go every year, so they will be careful.

Our parish youth group did a similar overnight camp a couple years back, and the kids still talk about learning to pitch tents without arguing. The name "Возвращаясь, созидаем" fits if they're doing some real work around the village like the others said. Who's the main organizer, the local parish or the district center?

It is good that the children will learn to set up tents and keep order for five days. I like the name "Возвращаясь, созидаем", because if they do something useful in the village of Maksimov Pochinok, it's the right thing. Who is the main organizer, will it be a priest or someone from the center?

It’s a good thing for the guys, five days in tents will definitely teach them how to set them up and keep them in order, as Anton wrote. I also like the name “By returning, we create” - if they also do something useful in the village of Maksimov Pochinok, that’s great. Who is the main organizer, the parish or the local center?

Well said, Natia, it will be very useful for children to learn order and live together. In Maksimov Pochinok, such cases are often organized by the local Orthodox community, and parents and experienced counselors take care of safety. Is your child involved in such things?

Good idea, Vera, about useful work in the village. I heard that the guys will help with cleaning around the old church and planting flowers at the monument. The organizer is the parish of the church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Burning Bush” from Kazan; they have been organizing such camps for several years now. Aren't you going to send your grandchildren?

Yes, children really need Maya, order and living together. My youngest daughter went to a similar camp last year and came home much more disciplined. How often do your children go on such expeditions?
ქეთევან კაპანაძე
Yes, Maya, you are right, order and living together teach children a lot. My son was once on a similar trip and he became more responsible when he returned home. What year did your child participate?
ლევან ჯავახიშვილი
Yes, Ketevan, order and camp life really change children. My nephew was on a similar trip to Mamadish last year and spent months talking about how he learned how to set up a tent and do common things. At what age did your son leave?
ნიკოლოზ გელაშვილი
Yes, Levan, you are right, the camp is very good for children. My nephew was also in Mamadish last summer, and after setting up the tent, he came home and first tidied his room, he became a completely different child. How old was your nephew then?
