Google is your friend, the translator is our friend, so you can read about the 2023 Hungarian camp in your own language.
Allow me to quote Vanda and Sándor's memo about fantastic and remarkable moments (written at night, in an unknown time frame???) about the quality of the camp participants, and the quality of the camp itself.
Whether you were here or not: Enjoy reading, looking at pictures and remembering!
