ABOUT THE CAMP
Summer camp for boys aged 14–19
Enlistment is the first level and the place where everything else begins. The camp helps boys aged 14 to 19 understand the core values of life, develop their character, experience and value teamwork, and see why goals matter.
Each topic is followed by a task so that what is heard becomes more than theory: outdoors, in a team, in real conditions. The camp is led by experienced leaders, clergy and fathers.
Five days without phones
Teams of 8–10 boys, each with its own instructor
Also open to boys who do not attend church

FOR PARENTS
Frequently asked questions
Does my son need to attend church?
Not necessarily. The camp is based on Christian values and welcomes every boy, including those who have never attended church. No one is forced to believe.
What about safety and medical assistance?
Responsible adults are present around the clock, and each team has its own instructor who knows where his boys are. The camp has a first-aid kit and someone trained to use it. In the application, list your son's allergies, chronic conditions and medication. In serious cases, we call 113 and contact you immediately, without waiting until the end of camp.
What should he bring?
Clothes that can get dirty or torn, a warmer jacket for evenings, a raincoat, sports shoes and rubber boots, swimming trunks and a towel, a sleeping bag, toiletries, a Bible and a pen. Bring any medication in its original packaging. We email the full packing list two weeks before camp.
Are phones allowed?
We collect phones on the first day and return them on the last. This is not a punishment; it is one of the main reasons the week works. For many, five days without a screen is a first in years. If you need anything, call the camp leader on +371 20598027 at any time.
What if the fee is a barrier?
We do not want money to be what keeps you from coming to camp. We, the BPI DRAFTS team, have made sure that where it is needed we can support you by covering part of the fee.
