Children`s camp „Sunbeams”

At the end of June in the God`s Covenant Church Children’s Camp «Sunbeams» took place. Sunbeams were our children; they beamed with cheerfulness, warmth, kindness, sincerity, energy, light... Everyone was a beam! And we, instructors and teachers, reflected this light and endured pleasure and inflow of new experiences, emotions, movements!!!

We expected approximately 40 persons, but already from the first minutes there was a worry - children appeared to be much more, altogether we were 60 persons. In such cases you learn to rely on God, and you become the witness of His miracles and God`s grace!

Children were within the age from 6 till 12 years, many participated for the first time, many were unfamiliar with one another and worried. But from the very beginning we endured atmosphere of friendship, kindness, love and respect.

Every day had its name that had to be reflected in behaviour, words and deeds. The first day was the day of KINDNESS, the second – LOVE, and the third – FAITH. Of course, the source for all these values was God!

In addition to acquaintance with these values, there were master classes in dancing and arts (drawing, crafts, plastering) led by the professional pedagogues.

During these lessons it was impossible to stay indifferent; merry music and dances captivated also the adults, and plastering with clay disclosed new creative skills and we made beautiful figures with our own hands. A special day was master class in dancing on the beach, sandy bank of the lake Dervaniski; we danced and later together went for a swim! At the evening there was a concert in the open air, children sang, danced, showed sketches, after that there was a feast. In the dusk we sat at the campfire, played and talked. Before going to sleep we watched cartoons on the big screen, there were a lot of games, talks, hikes, bathing, feeding five times a day...all this during three days!!!
