“Super camp! Definitely come
back next year!“
“It was a wonderful two weeks. I wasn't bored
for a single minute. The teachers organised our time
very well. Everyone could find something for themselves.
Our parents were proud of us that we improved our Polish.
We could also perform for our parents at the end
of the camp and show how much we learned. It's a
pity the camp is over. If it will be organised in
a year, I will definitely take part in it again and
I will bring my friends with me.“
“Can’t wait till next year!!“
