Detail
Summer help will assist at the Kolt's Teen evangelistic camp by counseling and helping in the cabins. Our camp will be from July 5-12 and it will be at a new camp and conference facility near Katowice. This is the fourth year for the Teen Camp which was launched with the assistance of The Wilds Camps Abroad program.
We need people with media and program experience for this camp, as well as anyone who is willing to be flexible, take initiative, use their creativity, and love on the campers.
Additionally, we will be planning an English camp in Jaworzno and will need help with preparations and promotion of the English camp. Last summer, there were over 50 families in attendance at this English camp. The ESL camp is not an overnight camp situation.
The other weeks we don't have camps will be spent preparing for the camps, cleaning and doing odd jobs at the preschool, preparing for the coming school year, and helping the Kolts in whatever way possible.
We're looking for about 5-10 people to come this summer.

Miscellaneous
Don't forget your passport! No other special documentation is necessary for Poland.
