Day 7 - Bye-bye. Keep in touch!

Our final day of camp was one of thank yous, hugs, and tears.  The students prepared some lovely gifts of sweets from our respective corners of the world for the kitchen staff and the camp hosts.  They did a wonderful job of making us comfortable and keeping us well fed!


We also revealed our secret friends today and shared our gifts from home.  It was fun to find out who had been sending you treats and writing nice messages all week.


Finally, we taped a piece of paper on each person’s back and walked around writing compliments, kind messages, and farewell greetings on each other's backs. These will be lasting mementos of the friendships we’ve forged, memories we’ve made, and lessons we’ve learned this week. 


The bus ride back to Vilnius was great and before the groups all headed their separate ways, there were many hugs, tears, and well wishes at the bus station.

The students have been saying for the last few days that this camp has been life-changing.  They have made new friends from many corners of the world, learned lots about how our countries function, and the role we all play in keeping the world healthy and safe.

We could not have had such a wonderful experience without the supervisory and helpful contribution of the Lithuanian Association of English Language Teachers LAKMA, and of course, the support of the American Embassy in Vilnius, their encouragement and participation are vital to the success of the camp. It was a wonderful opportunity for both the adults and students and we are already looking forward to next year!
