Follow Up

After camp, we went back to Letovice with everyone for FOLLOW UP. You may wonder what the heck is follow up? Well, in this context it's when a group of Americans goes back to the home town of the campers and we all spend more time together and the Americans are hosted in the students' homes. Follow up is priceless for several reasons: it brings the camp experience home for the students; the US kids get a chance to experience real Czech life; it's a concrete step to releasing the care for the students even more into the hands of the Czech youth group. Letovice does a great job a caring for students after camps. For those who became Christians or are seeking, there's a mentorship system in place and they can easily get connected with an older youth group member who can meet with them. For example: last year Marketa (16) became a believer at camp, and she was discipled by Petra (19) who's discipled by Alca (27).
