Camp meetings, Czech greetings & Not-Sleeping-Like-I-Should-Be-Right-Now

Last weekend I stole away to Libice nad Doubravou village in Vysočina, Czech Republic for our Camp Leader Meeting. It took some crazy bus, metro and RV rides to get there (long story!), but I made it and really enjoyed meeting the Czech leaders + English teachers from Praha, Liberace and beyond.

Everyone is so different and has their own unique story. Yet, we all seem to share the same thread of curiosity, passion and adventure-enthusiasm too. I love that. Across ages, cultures, oceans and experiences... we are so different, yet the same.

Here are some photos from the weekend (and you can see more in the photo album here):


I'm excited to see what this summer holds...

I'll be working both city and summer camps in Praha, Usti N.L and Doubice. Doubice, btw, I think will be AWESOME! It's in a valley right next to the National Park Česko-Saské Švýcarsko (Czech-Saxon Switzerland) in Ústí, and I've heard it's got some incredible bike trails and places to hike. I'm pretty sure that myself, the 2 Czechs I'll be working with + the kids at the camp will have lots of fun. I will, however, probably become an old lady and need to sleep at like 9pm haha. Early morning runs, hikes and bike rides just can't be beat, though! Feel free to come join me :)
