The document summarizes trips that a youth group from Brussels took to the Ardennes region of Belgium, Italy, and Romania. It describes activities the group engaged in including kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, volunteering at a running festival in Brussels, visiting beaches in Italy, sightseeing in cities like Florence and Piza, and connecting with friends from a previous trip to Italy and Romania at a reunion. Pictures show the group having fun together on their adventures.

1. Friends in the Ardennes Our Ardennes youth group All of us from Brussels

2. Good times Dinner Time! We stayed in a really nice chalet called Les Pierres Blanches owned my a Christian couple. The place was perfect, as were the meals. I guess if you’ve run out of flour, and the bread store is closed, you can always just run to the nearest bread machine…

3. Trips in the Ardennes Kayaking was a lot of fun. It was really cheap and it took about 3 or 4 hours to run the river. Everyone had a blast! We went for a really cool hike one of the days, it kind of reminded me PA foliage. And there’s Justin in the background going the wrong way…very typical for him..ha

4. Always having fun! Everyone had a fun driving around. Of course we weren’t diving at this point, because no one has their seat belts on…ha Mountain biking with the youth group was a great experience. Because we had some experienced guys, and some beginners it was a great chance to build each other up, and just have fun with everyone.

5. Brussels 20K The 20k Festival is huge! It happens every year and attracts people from all over Europe and the world. I volunteered to plan the picnic in Parc Cinquantenaire which was a little more difficult than I planned with no car, but it all worked out and everyone got to feed their faces and play games after the race.

6. Italy

7. ITALY This is the American beach close to Camp Darby where we our campsite was. We had a ton of fun on this beach, from volleyball to tackle football. Our camp site at Camp Darby …There was always something going on including some pretty creative practical jokes. haha

8. Frenze’ That is a very big church. My crew in Italy was great. Our small group time was really awesome. Garret, on the left in the gray shirt accepted Christ that week.
