No Fear Camp, or Christian English Camping, is an unusual phenomenon. We specialize in people, not procedures. The camp is interactive, and the lines between staff and participants are blurred. There might be 10 people, or 100. Someone from Africa might come, or everyone might be from Warsaw. Everything changes because everything is alive.

We specialize in a sense of humor, lack of distance, and being eternally happy.

Anyone who calls us "sir" gets their tie cut off. A gallery of cut ties is available for interested parties.

The fact that the camp is in English makes life easier. Everything is simpler and more relaxed in English. It's easier to have fun and sing better.

Is it for you?

The camp is for young people.

What does that mean? God only knows. If you feel that the camp is for you, then it is probably for you, and let's leave it here.

We have one condition: you must be of legal age. In Poland, that means: you must be at least 18 years old.

Sorry, it's not up to us. We would love to set the minimum age at 15, but that would mean unimaginable amounts of tedious paperwork that we simply can't afford and the constant visits from grim government clerks that we can't stand any more. It's enormous waste our time and resources.

So what to do if you're 17? I don't know, maybe try to grow a mustache or use a magical aging cream.

Still, the camp is primarily for young people and for those who want to stop being afraid.

Afraid of what? Of anything: that you won't manage, others won't like you, that you'll make a mistake, that you'll embarrass yourself. That you catch a cold, that a beaver bites you, that your English is poor. Just pick one, options are endless.

Fear is our worst enemy. Unfortunately it is the main ingredient in the diet that we are fed daily by the government, the media, the companies, the church, and the school.

Our camp is meant to be an antidote.

Welcome to your detox!

No Fear Camp is a language camp, not a survival camp. There will be some running through the woods and hunting beavers, but that's on the side. Primarily, we will:

speak English a lot
meet new friends
enjoy life your, summer time, the sun, the rain (anyone can afford that)
play, sing, hum
ask any questions (no limits)
talk about life, God, relationships, Artificial Intelligence, Genuine Stupidity, boyfriends and girlfriends.

Who are we?

We are a small organization (called To Be Happy C.I.C.) based on volunteer work. We got to know each other by listening to the podcast Odwyk by Martin Lechowicz (the longest-running podcast in Poland). We discovered that we enjoy each other's company, have good ideas, and like people. When it turned out that we were good at managing projects, we began organizing Christian language camps. They are quite original and participants have come to love them.

Why Christian? Because we are a group of friends for whom God is an important part of life. We are united by the belief that we see Christianity in a simple, life-oriented way: as establishing a personal relationship with God and following Jesus in practice. Since this way of life has brought us much joy, we now have a natural desire to share this with others.

We are not part of any specific church. We value freedom and individuality in seeking our own life path, and we provide the same freedom to others.

We only prepare one camp a year – it is not mass production; it is handcrafted.

We do not teach for the school exams or tests. We train our language skills by natural immersion. This process is difficult to plan and control, and that's probably the reason it is not very popular in public schools. But it is incredibly efficient.

One of the requirements for our teachers is to speak fluently two languages (three is better, four is perfect) and to be well experienced in learning by natural immersion. We're a very practical bunch!

We all agree that the main priority in effective learning is to eliminate fear. Coincidentally, this is just as important to perfect the art of living a happy life. Hence the name: No Fear Camp. Together we can learn how to fight the fear and win.

Extra Time!

Guess what, the continuation has just happened! For the eager and brave, who want to stay longer, we have an additional three days of Overtime. We'll loosen the rules, eliminate the daily program, and English will no longer be the only correct language. Maybe someone will bring a birthday cake? Maybe we'll bake a sheep? Who knows.

21 July 2025

Final ending

On this day, we really have to leave. If this will be the best camp in the world, we will meet again next year at something similar.

Ground Rules:

The camps have fantastic atmosphere and we avoid lots of problems, because we agree to few limitations on our personal independence. During the years we have created an optimal, proven, and reasonable minimum or rules to follow. There are only seven rules. They are rather obvious.

1.

There will be no violence, hitting, beating or bullying. This applies to everyone and everywhere. We have no tolerance at all for people who harm others.

2.

The same applies to private property: theft or destruction of property is unacceptable and will be dealt with swiftly and seriously.

3.

No alcohol. It is a sad rule and unfortunate, because even Jesus drank wine with his disciples. However, the camp lasts only 10 days and to use them best we can and be active we need clear minds and full energy.

4.

If you need to smoke, go to the designed area. General rule here is: stink as bad as you like, but everyone has has right not to smell you.

5.

Boys and girls, keep the romances under control. No making babies at the camp, please.

6.

Campers declare they will follow the instructions of the staff regarding safety, legal requirements, and other important matters. What is an important matter? Use your common sense.

7.

When in doubt, the last word belongs to the captain of the camp. The captain is our supreme court.

Do we need more specific rules or guidelines? We don't. We like to keep it simple. All the problems and conflicts will be cheerfully resolved as we go. We'll deal with anything. Just keep to those seven ground rules and we'll all enjoy the camp.

If anything is unclear, just ask right away. We are always happy to talk and answer any questions.

What should I take with me?

tent - take a little tent for yourself or a larger one if you like company.
sleeping bag - it's July, but it's Poland, not Morocco.
rain clothes - we don't stop for rain. There won't be a special delivery of sweets to the tents and you'll have to walk through the mud at times.
bowl - each group has a pot to cook in. You need something to get your food into. If you feel adventurous, try and carve a bowl out of wood.
spoon, fork, knife - to eat comfortably from the bowl.
cup - do you plan to drink? Then a cup will come in handy. We recommend plastic or metal.
(optional) PMR 446 (transceiver or a walkie-talkie). It's not necessary, but it's useful. We use those all the time. We have only have 10 of them, so there won't be enough for everyone. And it's best tool to communicate when hunting beavers.
(optional) musical instrument - if you like to play. There are musicians in the staff and we really enjoy playing and singing. For minimalists, we recommend a harmonica, it is the smallest instrument you can get. There is someone in the team who can teach how to blow into those holes to make it sound really nice.
(optional) flashlight - everyone has a flashlight on their phone, right? Well, if you like to risk loosing your new iPhone on the night trip to field toilet, be my guest. A flashlight might come in handy though.
(optionally) earplugs - you'd be surprised how far snoring carries at night. We'll bring a supply of earplugs, but maybe you already have your favorites.
