Poland: Proem Basketball Camp
Proem is a non-profit Polish Christian mission working for the benefit of young people. The headquarters is in Warsaw with daily operations in the Christian Youth Center in Zakosciele. Proem Ministries has existed in Poland since 1990 and is based on the teaching of the Bible and Christian ethics, while working together with Polish churches as well as churches from other countries. Proem has organized summer and winter camps for children and youth from differing social classes and churches for over 20 years. Proem promotes recreation and relaxation that joins sports and games, along with Biblical teaching and spiritual growth.
Apart from summer and winter camps, Proem organizes sports tournaments, Bible correspondence courses, a coffee shop, Christian conferences, and training workshops. This summer, Mount Pleasant will be sending a team over to help Proem with their international summer BASKETBALL CAMP. We will be working with children from over five different countries as they come to play basketball and hear the word of God.
You can reach out to me at anytime as well!
