Eger English Camp

Our church in Eger is now 4 years old. We used to live in Debrecen and work with that church, and also came up here for 2 years for a Bible study that started with a girl, Judit, who got saved at Debrecen's English camp.
We now have our own English camp for the local high school and college students. It has grown tremendously, with 35 at the first camp and 80 kids at last year's camp. We are expecting 100 kids to attend this year.
Speaking a foreign language is a must here-and to graduate high school, most students need to speak 2 languages. Americans cannot comprehend that, as so many people I know think they can speak Spanish if they can order food-tacos and salsa por favor!!
We try to create a native speaking environment by bringing native speakers-mostly Americans, but this year an Australian couple as well-and by spending all day together.

I am writing this note to let you native speakers know about our outreach to our community, and to ask you to contact me if you are interested in coming to help with the camp.

The camp runs with about the same program every day: 3 hours in the morning in conversation with a native speaker (we have some Hungarians come who teach the beginners), free time in the afternoons where the kids can choose an activity like crafts, sports, hiking, baking, etc, and then we end the day with an "exciting" evening program like a talent show, games/activities, and our biggest hit-an American Idol style Karaoke contest. Really. I have stage fright, but Nick makes me do it and I sang Like A Virgin when I was 9 months pregnant.

If anyone is interested or wants to know more info-PLEASE contact me! We are short on helpers this year from Native speakers!
Some helpful stuff-Camp dates are Monday July 27 until Saturday Aug 1.
