Exercise around the soccer field.

Ropes Course is a challenge for most.

Skits abound. The Ukrainian campers love to do them and we love to watch them.

We attempt to keep the individual group sizes to about 10 with a common English capability. This allows for excellent interaction and the developing of relationships.

Ukraine has a rich and storied history. It has long been associated with its northern neighbor of Russia. In fact it was the original capital of the Kievan-Rus empire dating from the 700s. In 1991 it once again became its own country. Even though it has faced many difficulties in the ensuing years, the resourceful and dedicated citizens have come a long way in a short period of time.

ACCTS has developed an excellent relationship with the Ukrainian Military Christian Fellowship. We have supported multiple ministries including a conversational English language camp. We offered our first English camp in 2001 and have been supporting the MCF effort every since.

Each year we support a scholarship program for the campers. This year the cost of camp has increased almost 25%. Food prices have probably increased 10% over the same time period but other increases especially in the cost of fuel have impacted Camp costs. None of the trip costs are used to support this fund. Even if you can't join us, would you considered giving to this very worthy effort. The process is very simple and can be done in a very few minutes if you use the credit card support process identified under the financial portion of the web site.

Even though no visa is required, please make sure your passport is valid until at least Jan 2009 and has several empty pages for customs and immigration use. If you don't have a passport, need a new one, or need additional pages, please make that a first order priority. A valid passport is an absolute requirement to even board the flight.
