Summer Camps for Youth Leaders

Dear TOKA Supporters,

This summer, 40 young adventurers from across the globe came together in Prizren, Kosovo, for an experience they will never forget. The International Adventure Camp brought together teens from Kosovo, the USA, Israel, and North Macedonia to explore the beauty of Kosovo, embrace cultural diversity, and leave a meaningful mark on the local community.

A Week of Connection and Contribution

The camp was more than just an adventure; it was a testament to the power of teamwork and cultural exchange. From challenging hikes to creative volunteer projects, our campers learned, worked, and celebrated together. Here are some highlights:

• Making a Difference: At the Nashec Center, campers crafted 20 wooden location signs and installed a map, revitalizing this educational space for children in need. Once abandoned, the center is now more accessible and welcoming, thanks to their hard work.
• Cultural Night: Each participant showcased their unique heritage through food, dance, and poetry, turning the camp into a vibrant world fair.
• Exploring Kosovo: Our young explorers took on breathtaking hikes, including a trek to Jazhnica at 2,180 meters above sea level, and discovered the rich history and charm of Prizren with the help of their Kosovar peers.

Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers

The camp wasn’t just about physical challenges—it was about building respect and understanding. Activities like the “Flag of Identity” allowed participants to see life from each other’s perspectives, revealing how diverse yet similar we all are. Whether navigating cultural dance moves or performing songs in new languages, the campers grew closer with each shared moment.
