Long before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukrainian Youth Association (UYA) had been organizing summer camps for a special group of children – those displaced by the war in Eastern Ukraine, which started not in February 2022 but 10 years ago in 2014. These camps were disrupted first by the worldwide pandemic, and then by the war.

Similar to years past, the Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada has pledged to cover the costs for at least 25 of the 100 participants. The additional participants will be funded by the Ukrainian Youth Association in other countries.

The cost for a single child to attend the ten-day camp (including two travel days) is approximately $300 CAD depending on the value of the Canadian dollar. This cost includes 3 meals and 2 snacks daily, travel costs for all campers to and from the camp, and all activities. This year the Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada has once again committed to a minimum of $7,500 CAD to ensure that as many children as possible can attend. With an adult to child ratio of no more than 1:10, the Canadian UYA Executive also hopes to be able to subsidize travel costs for 1 or 2 volunteer staff that will be participating this year.
