KERHONKSON, N.Y. – Soyuzivka Heritage Center’s Discover Your Heritage Camp 2019 is gearing up to be another action-packed, fun camp for children between the ages of 8 and 16. Organizing and directing the camp again this year is Sandy Lemekha, who is returning as camp director for the 11th year. Assisting her will be her husband, Vlodko Lemekha, as well as new and returning counselors, many of whom are former campers themselves.

This 24-hour supervised sleepover camp provides a well-rounded program of camp activities, while incorporating the Ukrainian heritage. This year’s theme will be “Tryzub – The History and Meaning.” The children will learn all about the tryzub, the national symbol of Ukraine, and will also do arts and crafts incorporating the tryzub into their projects. 

The program will include camp favorites, including hiking, swimming, lip sync battle, movies, laser tag, campfires and, of course, the Amazing Race.

Discovery Camp is scheduled for July 14-20.
