A Ukrainian Summer: where to go, what to do...

Language immersion camp in Saskatchewan geared for adults

by Tony Harras

REGINA, Saskachewan - Planning for the Adult Ukrainian Language Immersion Camp (AULIC) 2006 is well on its way and along with the successful four-day weekend, a five-day extended program is being announced. During the first four days, August 10 to 13, three levels of instruction will be offered: beginner, intermediate and advanced.

The additional five-day program, continuing to August 18, will allow for a more intense Ukrainian language immersion environment and is dedicated to intermediate and advanced level participants who wish to build on their knowledge of the Ukrainian language.

AULIC's success is based primarily on language instruction, which is supplemented with a culturally enriching program. The Organizing Committee ensures that instructors selected for the camp are skilled Ukrainian teachers. Wherever possible and practical, instructors with past AULIC experience are engaged: any new instructors are required to meet the high standard set by their predecessors.

AULIC 2006 will again be held at Trident Camp, 25 kilometers north of Canora, Saskatchewan, at the Crystal Lake resort. Further information about the venue and facilities can be obtained by logging on to the AULIC website at www.aulic.ca.

The registration fee for attendance from August 10 to 13 is $185 per participant if received prior to June 15 and $200 thereafter. The registration fee for attendance from August 10 to 18 is $310, if received by June 15, and $325 thereafter. Room, board and all printed materials are covered in that fee.

AULIC is sponsored by the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association of Regina and the Ukrainian Orthodox Men's Association of Regina with financial assistance provided by Ukrainian Canadian Congress - Saskatchewan Provincial Council and Regina Branch, Saskatchewan Lotteries and Saskatchewan Organization of Heritage Languages.

Plan now to attend. If last year was any indication, there will be a long line-up for this year's camp.
