Hejce
English Bible Camp 2024

The camp is for Hungarian teenagers and is jointly led by a team from Hungary and the UK team. The camp has run for over 40 years in its current format and has been richly blessed by God during this time. No previous experience is required. Our only requirements are that volunteers should be Christians in good standing in their own congregation and aged 18+.
