Chemney Fun Center attracts preschoolers

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Now in its third year at Soyuzivka, Chemney's Fun Center for children age 4-6 attracted 19 youngsters to its day camp program.

Under the direction of Carol Oleksiuk, with co-teacher Nadia Hrynovets, the Ukrainian American campers learned about Ukrainian cultural traditions. The children sang songs about numbers, foods and colors, and danced to Ukrainian music.

This year was one of many firsts. The campers had a carnival afternoon with games designed by the children and prizes for all. The day camp also organized its first field trip: an eight-car caravan took campers, counselors and parents to Catskill Corners Kaleidoscope in Plattekill.

The week was concluded with the camp's first on-stage performance for parents, grandparents and guests.

Ms. Oleksiuk expressed thanks to UNA Advisor Stephanie Hawryluk, secretary of UNA Branch 88, who surprised campers with congratulations and gifts of pysanky and postcards of the camp mascot, Soyuzivka's collie-in-residence, Chemney.

She also expressed thanks to counselors-in-training Christina Oleksiuk and Kim and Lauren Magnowski, who took time out from the boys' and girls' camp to help out with the preschoolers' program.
