Finate International Campground is a subsidiary of “Worldwide Orphans in Need”. It is dedicated to sharing the gospel with Romania and surrounding European countries. We are located in a rural area of the Maramures region of Romania. The Campground is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Carpathian mountains. The rolling foothills are dotted with sheep and the picturesque haystacks typically associated with Transylvania and the Maramures region.

Our facility offers a modern, fully equipped, clean and comfortable Christian atmosphere for Church Camps. We also host English, Sport, Community and Cultural Awareness Camps. The main building can house seventy-five campers and sits by the river that runs through the property. We have a sports field for soccer, volley and basket ball across the river that is accessible via a covered bridge. We have a play area that has swings, slides, sandbox and see-saws for the little children. We also have a pavilion available on the campground that can accommodate up to 400 persons for crusades, Praise and Worship concerts or used for children activities during the rainy season.

Our ministry in Romania began by working with orphans only, but in 2007 Romania became part of the European Union and in its effort to move the children from an institutional setting, the orphanage we remodeled was closed in 2010 against our wishes. All of this has led our focus to diversify.

A portion of our ministry time is dedicated to working with Roma and underprivileged children in the area. As believers, we feel it is our responsibility to bring light and hope into a world of darkness that destroys the hearts of mankind. What better place to start than in the heart of a child without optimism or hope?

In the off season winter months we assist widows with whatever needs they might have. We help the sick and suffering with home visits, medical supplies, wound care and clothing supplied by our supporters.
