2026 PROEM Winter Camp

Zakosciele, Poland - February

Southeast Christian Church is sending a mission team to serve with PROEM Ministries at Winter Camp in Zakościele, Poland—a vibrant, high-energy camp designed for kids ages 7-13 from across Eastern Europe and beyond. This 10-day trip (including travel) welcomes participants ages 14 and up, with a maximum team size of 15. Winter Camp is packed with sports, games, workshops, crafts, and relational ministry opportunities, creating space for youth to encounter the love of Christ in a fun and engaging environment. Team members will assist in all areas of camp life, including helping with meals and clean-up, leading or supporting activities, running sports and climbing stations, facilitating workshops, and offering encouragement to campers—many of whom come from refugee or underserved backgrounds. This trip involves long days, lots of walking on uneven ground, and minimal downtime, so participants should be physically prepared and eager to pour out energy for the sake of the Gospel. If you love being active, building relationships, and serving youth, this trip is for you!
