Soyuzivka's Discovery Camp offers fun Ukrainian-style

KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Soyuzivka's unique Discovery Camp gives children and teens between the ages of 8 and 15 a chance to become acquainted with their Ukrainian heritage while learning about the environment and the beautiful nature all around them. Campers this year came from all corners of the United States, including Florida and California; one camper traveled to the Ukrainian National Association's estate in upstate New York from France. The photos on this page show the campers and some of their activities (clockwise from top left): counselor Bohdanna Puzyk teaches campers how to make pysanky; some of the campers' finished products; camper Carly Hawrylko with counselor Kira Myskiw; the Lviv villa, where campers are accommodated; some of the boys taking a break between activities; campers after swimming in the Soyuzivka pool. The camp program also includes hiking, scuba diving, bonfires, organized sports and games, and overnight campouts for older participants. Discovery Camp is held in two sessions: July 9-15 and July 16-22.
