​​P. has wonderful time in the camp! It was better than we all expected! He said it was the best camp in the world, that it was amazing, and he wants to come back there next year! Thank you all who organized such a lovely camp!

A BIG thank you to you, Father Stephen and the team for looking after our children so well. They came back in good spirit, more communicative and full of joy.

It gets better everyday! The change in A. is extraordinary - he organises us to pray every morning, meal and evening exactly according to your prayer book - he was the child before who was self-conscious and a little doubting about Orthodoxy. Thank you - that in itself is worth everything and I can see how happy he is to feel confident and at ease in his faith

​​Thank you to everyone who helped look after the children. A. had a wonderful time. He has learned so much. Camp means a lot to him. He was happy to have a chance to serve. Its lovely that so many wanted to serve. He was warm, well fed, entertained and enriched in his faith, that is some achievement!

He came home - radiant and even secretly told his sister that the Camp has changed his life.  Please sign him up for the next year as well as his brother...  ​​

Thank you for the great time my daughter E. had in the camp with you. She is really very happy and looking forward to coming there next year.  It was so exciting and instructive from what I could see on the pictures  and she fully confirmed that it was really super. And the most important thing is that by being in camp and in church every day,  she said is that her view of the church changed from quite formalistic  to conscious -  and we are very happy with it. ​

​​Хочу поблагодарить вас за организацию такого великолепного лагеря.  Мой А. до сих пор под впечатлением. Возвращаясь ... он уже по телефону мне сообщил, что это был самый лучший лагерь в его жизни, хотя он у нас ездит каждое лето по лагерям с 8-и лет. А. нашёл там у вас много хороших друзей, теперь они все переписываются и сын мой заверил меня, что на следующий год обязательно поедет в православный лагерь Святого Серафима Саровского.

​​​Just wanted to thank you both and all the helpers for wonderful Kamp. My daughter loved every bit of it and still keeps telling us about it. From what I hear it feels like you all managed to find a perfect balance between faith and fun, full of joy of love and life. It was inspiring and educational.

​​Православная атмосфера в лагере очень повлияла на Н. Она больше размышляет о вере, и каждое утро читает правило по новому молитвослову, привезённому из лагеря.

Thank you very much for the camp; the boys had a wonderful time and I noticed a particular difference in A. He is so much more confident and happy in himself - it’s amazing to see such a change over such a short time. Thank you - I understand how much time and effort must go into the organisation and it’s incredibly generous of you to give up all this time. I am so grateful and they will definitely be returning next year. They have been telling their sister she must join them too!

M. did have a good time - which makes me so happy, for he is exactly the type that does not normally like camps or “group activities”, so you must be doing wonders!  I hope to send his younger brother next year

Спасибо вам и отцу С. за то, что собираете детей, разговариваете с ними, учите их общаться друг с другом, думать о важных вещах. В повседневной жизни сделать это у нас часто не получается - все бежим и торопимся куда-то. Да и дети в этом возрасте уже не очень прислушиваются к родителям
