International Summer camp

Junior Achievement Macedonia has so far offered three INTERNATIONAL SUMMER CAMPS on Ohrid and Prespa Lake to the best and the brightest students from Macedonia and abroad. Each year one hundred students altogether participated in a two-week training and competition in the MESE program.

Afternoons and evenings were spent with friends, often beside the lake where we enjoyed swimming, kayaking and beach volleyball. There was the usual basketball, football and ping pong competitions, much dancing at the disco and several special events which included a Mock New Year’s Eve Party (dress code: pajamas), an excursion to Lake Ohrid and a Prespa lakeside campfire complete with international songs, grilled sausage and soda pop.

Our international guests added a great deal to the experience. So far students from Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Australia, Bulgaria, Albania, Hungary and Serbia and Montenegro have taken part in our Camps. There was also a wonderful opportunity for JA Macedonia students to meet many of them. Friendships across borders were established and thåse relationships continue to develop through the mails and Internet with promises for future exchanges among JA camps.

We have begun planning our 2005 camp season and will notify other programs of the dates for next summer sometime in May. We hope to share our beautiful country of lakes and mountains with some new country representatives.
