We're at the airport in Lviv right now waiting for our flight to board, so here's a few thoughts about the camp.
In the upper portion of the view you can see the fence on the north side of the camp. The red roofs and the roofs are buildings in the upper camp. Where the dark green grass changes to a lighter color is the edge of the bluff.
Down below the camp is a bit narrower. We were staying in one of the square buildings with a brown roof. The large white-roofed structure is the dining hall. The buildings to the right and left are private vacation homes or rentals. The camp apparently controls the green space in between down to the water front.
We had a wonderful time at the camp. Keenan, Adam and I led small groups of 15 or so each afternoon. Joe assisted and preached one morning. Keenan and Aubrey sang almost every service. Keenan even played the drums one night. I sang one and a half songs Wednesday morning. The half song was the refrain from the new version of "It is Well With My Soul" which I sang in Russian.
Marcus and the girls assisted in the small groups, took part in the athletic events, played with the small children staying near us in the family quarters and gave their testimonies during the evening campfires after the two to three hour evening service.
Swimming in the Black Sea was enjoyed by all (except for some of us who didn't managed to pack a swimsuit.
On Wednesday night, Slavic, the regional youth leader took his leadership team and our four adults out for a pizza dinner in Yuzhne, a nearby town to the west. They wanted to know what we thought of the festival and how we could work together in the future.
Dennis Blankenship, your presence was specifically requested by the Ukrainians.
