I'm glad they went to Sofiko, it's a quiet place and suitable for children. My older daughter went to a similar camp two years ago and still talks about the pottery and horse riding classes. This year they managed to gather 130 children, impressive.

I'm glad that they chose Sofiko in Corinthia again. Last year, a group of kids from the community also went there for a week, and they still remember how they sculpted with clay and rode horses. 130 children is already a whole small town; it’s good that the program with prayer and sports is balanced.

I'm glad they went to Sofiko again, it's quiet there and the kids relax. I liked that they also put a pottery workshop and horse riding, my niece made a small vase last year that she still keeps in her room. 130 children together is enough, well done for making it.

I'm glad they chose Sofiko again, that quiet place near Corinth. My 10-year-old daughter made a ceramic pot last year just like your niece's, Niki, and she still has it on her desk. 130 children is a serious number, well done to the organizers.

Yes, Sofiko is a suitable, quiet place with good air. My younger daughter was there for three years and still remembers how she learned to shoot the bow without hitting anyone. 130 children is indeed a large number, meaning that it is well organized.

Yes, Sofiko did not disappoint again this year - ours also returned with clay figurines on the windowsill and stories about horses. It’s good that there was prayer in the morning and evening, and not just running around. What kind of race were your guys in, in August or earlier?
