• 86: the number of students ages 6-13 who attended this year’s camp
• 18: the number of Americans who served on the team
• 18: the number of Slovaks who served as interpreters, helpers, or leaders
• 11: the number of Slovak interpreters who had participated in the camps as children and now are coming back to help
• Too many to count: the number of Slovaks who helped with everything else, from taking photos to moving tables to helping with sound equipment
• 2: the number of (not serious) injuries that occurred during sports
• 0: the number of Americans who got locked in or out of a bathroom, bedroom, or building (a record number!)
• 4: the number of trips team members took to a local restaurant to enjoy their amazing dessert selection (tiramisu, creme brulee, and chocolate souffle….you can’t go wrong!)
• 6: the number of 5-and-under year olds who “attended” the camp and participated in coloring, games, and snacks with their parents outside
• 1: the number of kegs of Kofola (a Central European cola) consumed over the course of the week
• An infinite amount: the number of lives that were touched and the number of wonderful memories that everyone involved in the camp will hold!
