Олег БондаренкоIt is good that the children spent time in the fresh air, prayed and played together. I especially liked that Metropolitan Eusevios not only came to the opening, but also had lunch with them, talked and watched how the day went by. In our Poltava, schoolchildren were also once taken to such camps near the river, I remember how they then talked about evening prayers under the stars.

Максим ВасильевIt’s good that the children spent almost a month in such a place - prayer, games, and fresh air. It’s nice that Metropolitan Eusebius not only came to the hagiasmos, but actually had lunch with the guys and watched how their day was going. In Yaroslavl we were also taken to parish camps a couple of times, but so many children were not collected at once.

Николай БеляевIt’s good that four shifts in a row and more than 350 guys were able to relax at Panagia Kotsika. He especially noted how Metropolitan Eusebius not only served hagiasmos, but also came several times, had lunch with the children and watched what they were doing every day. We also tried to create such camps in Minsk, but we didn’t gather so many children at once.

Екатерина ЗайцеваIt’s good that you are also trying such camps in Minsk. In our parish in Rostov last year, we collected only forty children per shift, and we already considered that a success. Approximately how many did you have in one shift?

Иван АтанасовIt's good that they did four shifts one after the other and gathered over 350 children in "Panagia Kotsika". I like that Metropolitan Eusebius not only did Agiasmos, but he came several times, had lunch with them and watched what they did during the day. Here in Plovdiv, the diocesan camps usually have 80-90 per shift, but not that long.
