From July 14 to 19, not far from Khmelnitsky, in the village of Markovtsy, we held the ENDGAME teen camp. It was attended by 65 teenagers from 13 to 17 years old – mostly immigrants from different parts of Ukraine.

The theme of the camp was a computer game. But not just a game, but a special idea in which each team created their own character and pumped it up in five spheres of life: emotional, physical, social, intellectual and spiritual.

Each day was dedicated to one of these spheres. Teenagers completed various challenges, participated in sports and camp games, creative workshops, drew, sang, shot videos and discovered something new about themselves. And in the evening, everyone gathered for a common time, which we called “evening action”. There was everything: live music, fun competitions, sincere and inspired speeches about how to build your life with God.

 After that, there was a special time in their teams. There were deep conversations, frankness, support, laughter and even tears. Many teenagers prayed for the first time, opened up to others for the first time and said something important about themselves.

It is worth mentioning the delicious food separately – a real bonus of the camp! And also – morning exercises, evenings by the fire, new acquaintances and true friendship.

This camp became more than just a vacation for many teenagers. It became a reboot point. The start of a new path. And most importantly – a step towards God.
