Every summer we organize camps for children and youth living with alcoholic/addict or recovered parents/care-providers. In this way they can spend a week in a safe environment, with regular meals and a structured programme. One of our aims is also to share Christian teaching, hoping to show that with Christ there is an alternative. Practical teaching has no less importance: positive attitude of the staff in everyday situations is an important guide for them in learning what many couldn't learn at home. Bonus Pastor Foundation operates four camps for children and youth each summer:

Children's camp (for 7-11 year olds) is a great time for the children, who can spend a week without the usual uncertainty and trouble around them. It is a big blessing to see their happy faces during the entire camp. However the smiles also remind the staff of the lives to which the children must return.
The programme consists of a mixture of play, crafts, worship, discussions about addiction and study.

Mini-teen camp (for 12-15 year olds)
Early adolescence is a critical age: the need for peer acceptance is great, so is the pace of change (physical, emotional and intellectual). It is also that at this time that an increased risk of habitual alcohol/drug consumption can developing. The camp attempts to teach young teens to surround themselves with positive influences. Personal relationship with Christ and good friends are key factors.

Teenage camp (for 16-19 year olds) The teenage camp also serves to expose older teens from families affected by addiction to Christian teaching and to create an environment where they can develop good friendships. As older teens who attend these camps ponder questions related to career choices, sexuality and existence. Camp leaders try to address these questions in a relaxed, Christian environment.

Survival hike for teenage boys
Since 2001 a tradition has evolved among the teenage boys who have attended Bonus Pastor camps. It consists of packing sleeping bags, tents, warm clothing and food; and heading to the mountains for a week long survival hike. The length and difficulty of the hike increased progressively. In 2004 the boys and their leaders already embarked on a hike in the Făgăraşi mountains: the highest mountain peaks in the country. Apart from the gruelling programme of hours of hiking, time is also spent in Bible devotion. The boys gain a tremendous sense of accomplishment from reaching mountain summits and completing the hike. They also acquire leadership and survival skills. It is the hope of the leaders of the hike that the boys would also develop a deeper Christian faith and strong bonds with each other.
