The 2025 summer camps organized by UA KIK were attended by 140 young people and 28 educators from Poland and Ukraine. These included:
Two camps for children aged 10-12
One was for those going on vacation for the first time without their parents – in Brachlewo, Pomerania; the second was a tent camp in Markuty, at a location provided by the KIK Family Section.
Four camps for teenagers:
- a camp in the Suwałki region for the Play for Peace group, which has been operating with KIK for two years – an American organization functioning worldwide in conflict zones and multicultural communities. From this organization, we learn work methods and games that foster integration;
- three hiking camps in the Low Beskids – almost the same route three times, but each camp was slightly different. Because, as you know, a camp is not just about the route :) During the first, participants faced difficult weather conditions, sliding in mud and moving between storms.
- Our wonderful volunteer from the USA, Luc, was a guest at the second one again. This led to long discussions in English on important topics concerning all participants’ countries.
- Finally, the third camp was a hike in hot summer weather. Although for most 13-15-year-olds it was their first time participating in this type of camp, everyone did great;
Erasmus+ Tent Camp
This was the first meeting of a group from various countries – Ukraine, Belarus, Zimbabwe, and Burundi – in picturesque natural surroundings, by Lake Sarąg in Markuty. The purpose of the trip was to lay the groundwork for future collaboration on an artistic project. Sharing daily life and space, organizing the day, and preparing meals together built bonds and trust. This is an excellent foundation for further activities and development.
Camp “The Art of Relationships”
A camp for youth from Germany, Ukraine, and Poland in Krzyżowa and Sokołowsko. The series, initiated last year, was this time organized with the Krzyżowa Foundation. Participants jointly reflected on how to interpret the words: reconciliation, solidarity, forgiveness, and responsibility for the community today. The program also included non-violent communication workshops, the creation of an artistic performance with a message of respect and community, and a stay in picturesque Sokołowsko with excursions in the area.
