Mountain Treasures: A Week of Family, Adventure, and Togetherness
The third edition of the “Mountain Treasure” family camp at Alpiniș brought us together once again, at the foot of the mountains, for a few days of stories, shared experiences, and precious time with the people we love.
Away from the usual pace of everyday life, families had the chance to discover new things, get creative, and enjoy meaningful time together. Children delighted in play, while parents joined them in the adventures planned throughout the week.
Guided by Ina Bulzan, a psychotherapist, storyteller, and mother, each day was filled with simple joys and special moments. We got creative with clay and paint during the workshops, explored the forest trails leading to the river, picked blueberries along the way, and flew kites under the open sky. At the adventure park, children had the chance to overcome their fear of heights. For parents, beyond the excitement of the course itself, they had the opportunity to see their children in a new light.
For the past three years, we have worked with Ina to bring this special week to life, and each year has been unique in its own way. This year’s camp was especially meaningful to Ina. As she put it, “I think this was the most special and heartfelt camp we’ve had yet.”
The family camp is especially close to Cosmin Ban’s heart. As one of its organizers, he looks forward to it every year and enjoys taking part in the activities alongside his own family. He shares: “To me, family camp is the highlight of the summer. There is something special about being in a place I love, surrounded by the mountains, my family and friends, and other families who are just as excited to join in, explore the outdoors, go hiking, listen to stories, and simply enjoy being together.”
Friendship, generosity, and care for the world around us were woven into every part of this year’s story. We enjoyed wonderful days together, sharing laughter, good conversations, and the beauty of God’s creation.
A big thank you to all the families who joined us for this special week at “Mountain Treasure” family camp.
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21
