KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Spring is here and summer is not far behind; thoughts begin to turn to vacation plans. Where to go? What to do?

Well, why not come to Soyuzivka? The upstate New York resort of the Ukrainian National Association is a nice relaxing place to stay not far from home, a place where you or your children can meet other people of Ukrainian heritage.

For children Soyuzivka offers the following camps and workshops in summer 1997:

Tennis Camp - Sunday, June 22, to Thursday, July 4; for boys and girls age 12-18. Instructors: Zenon Snylyk, George Sawchak and staff; limited to 60 students.
Tabir Ptashat - Saturday, June 28, to Saturday, July 12. The program run by the "Pershi Stezhi" sorority of Plast is geared to Ukrainian-speaking pre-schoolers. Children stay with their parents and the program is run similar to a day camp. The program is under the direction of Neonila Sochan, with parents taking an active role in the supervising activities.
Children's camp - Saturday, July 12, to Saturday, July 26; recreational camp for boys and girls age 7-12, featuring hiking, swimming, games, Ukrainian songs and folklore, and supervised 24 hours. Camp leader: Olya Czerkas; limited to 45 campers per week.
Chemney's Fun Center - Sunday, July 27, to Saturday, August 2; geared to exposing English-speaking pre-schoolers age 4-6 to the Ukrainian heritage. Children stay with parents on the resort premises. Camp leader: Carol Oleksiuk.
Ukrainian Folk Dance Workshop - Sunday, August 10, to Saturday, August 24; traditional Ukrainian folk dancing for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. Director: Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky; limited to 60 students.

For those who may not be children, but are kids at heart, each weekend Soyuzivka provides Ukrainian entertainment followed by a "zabava" (dance) with a heart- pumping kolomyika.

If you can stay longer, by all means come for a full week so you can relax properly and enjoy all that Soyuzivka has to offer: special theme nights, children's activities, tennis, volleyball, hiking to the waterfalls or cliffs, and dancing to live music in the Trembita lounge. If you're looking for even more relaxation, you can luxuriate in the sun with your friends by the Olympic-sized swimming pool, take pleasure from a friendly game of bingo, or grab a cappuccino at the Q-Café while enjoying the wonderful views of the Catskill Mountains.
