Our Plans for this trip.

Our plans as of right now are to hold primary adventure camp (ages 6-13) at the local school with Pastor Leonid and his church doing most of the work and teaching. We have ordered Shadowed Village kits for 240 children. Camp will be held Monday July 25-Friday July 29 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.

Shadowed Village is a program designed by our Baptist Conference that provides supplies and training for Ukrainian leaders of the adventure camp. This means more ownership by the Ukrainians and less help from us. This is why we're only taking 9 team members this year.

We hope to hold the youth camp at the cultural center from 4-7 p.m. on Monday-Tues & Wednesday. Possibly have a bonfire on Tues. evening after youth
camp is done. We have purchased the MBC youth curriculum to use as a guide. Our Team will have some ice-breaker games and the crafts as well as bring the supplies. We will plan for 200 youth. We have ordered snacks from the MBC to be delivered to Drabiv.

We would like to have a parents night/festival again as in the past on Thursday evening. Galina hopefully line up the talent.

We would like to conduct a women's ministry on Sunday evening-a time to do a craft and to socialize. We will plan for 25 or so and hope that this might be a springboard to church growth.
