Soyuzivka's new camps offer exploration, discovery, adventure

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Soyuzivka's three new summer camps proved to be extremely popular attractions during the summer of 2004, judging from the smiling faces of campers between the ages of 7 and 16.

All the camps, directed by Walter Nalywayko, Soyuzivka's activities director, with the assistance of qualified counselors, had about 30 campers each.

First on the summer schedule of camps new to Soyuzivka was the Exploration Day Camp, geared for boys and girls age 7-10, which offered six hours of supervised daily activities focusing on the outdoors.

Also in Soyuzivka's summer line-up was Discovery Camp, a sleep-over camp for children between the ages of 8 and 12. The camp program emphasized not only outdoor activities, but also Ukrainian heritage.

The oldest group of campers was enrolled in another sleep-over camp called Adventure Camp. The camp program focused on outdoor activities ranging from camping and hiking to rock climbing - an activity for which the Shawangunk Mountains are famous - under the guidance of professional climbers.

The management of Soyuzivka, the upstate New York resort of the Ukrainian National Association, is already looking ahead to the summer of 2005 when these camps will be repeated for new groups of enthusiastic campers ready for new challenges in the great outdoors.
