Camp 2016

 

Jul sam provela u Čikagu i to većinu meseca na jednom kampu na koji sam išla kao mala. To je prvenstveno crkveni kamp na kome se okupljaju naša deca iz celog sveta. Kamp "Nova Gračanica" se svake godine održava na leto i na zimu. Ove godine pridružili su nam se i kamperi iz manastira "Sveti Sava", tako da smo svi bili okupljeni na jednom mestu. Pod jednim krovom se nalazilo 118 dece.


Svakodnevne aktivnosti kao što su Matins, Vespers, Classes, Pool, Capture the flag, Six flags, Talent show, Bonfire i Contemplation učinili su da dani na kampu brzo prođu. Dve nedelje druženja bez telefona omogućile su nam da se međusobno dobro upoznamo, da poslušamo i ispoštujemo jedni druge, da budemo prisutni u svakom trenutku, da naučimo nešto novo i da se provedemo kao nikad do sad. Samu atmosferu na kampu teško je objasniti, treba je doživeti. Sve vreme su vladali ljubav, sreća i mir. Kada se približio kraj u očima svakog od nas se mogla naći po koja suza ali i velika radost jer smo svi stekli nove prijatelje sa kojima ćemo nastaviti da se družimo i posle kampa.
Svi se nadamo da ćemo i sledeće godine opet doći na kamp, steći vredna prijateljstva i imati još jedno nezaboravno iskustvo!

July was very exciting month for me this year. I spent it in Chicago by doing various interesting things and the most of my time there I enjoyed being part of great team on the camp where I used to go when I was younger. This is mostly ecclesiastical camp where children from all over the world gather to spend some quality and fun time together. The camp is called "New Gračanica" and it is holded every year on summer and winter. This year camper from monastery "Saint Sava" also joined us and so we were all together on one place like a big family. There were 118 children under one roof.

Daily activities such as Matins, Vespers, Classes, Pool, Capture the flag, Six Flags, Talent Show, Bonfire and Contemplation made our days on camp interesting and fulfilled so they passed very quickly. Two weeks of friendship without cell phones helped us to learn more about each other, to listen carefully and improve mutal respect. Moreover, spending time without social media enabled us to really be present in every moment there, to learn something new and to enjoy like never before. During all the time on camp, we were surrounded with love, happiness and peace. This atmosphere is difficult to describe and the best way to understand this wonderful experience is to really live it.
At the end of the camp, everyone was sad and we all had little tears in our eyes, but at the same time we were smiling because we met each other and so we got new friends to stay in touch with, even after the camp.
We all hope that next year we will come again on the camp where we will get new great friends and another amazing experience!
