This summer, young people in the Donetsk region have wonderful opportunities to build character, acquire new skills, and enjoy active recreation. A series of regional patriotic camps and military-patriotic training programs is taking place, and participation is completely free. The organizers cover all costs for meals, lodging, and educational and recreational programs.
A special highlight of the summer will be the atmospheric “Donetsk Sich” tent camp, designed in the style of a real Sich and timed to coincide with Youth Day. The camp will take place from August 10 to 15, 2026, for young people aged 14 to 17. Participants can look forward to an in-depth introduction to Cossack traditions, customs, and the spirit of brotherhood, as well as the opportunity to master practical camping skills, face endurance challenges, engage in teamwork, and enjoy lively evenings around the campfire.
Since registration and team formation are handled centrally through local government bodies, all interested participants or their parents should contact the designated representatives in their local communities (list attached) by July 30, 2026. Space is limited, so don’t delay in submitting your applications to participate in these unforgettable summer training camps!
The list of contact persons for local communities is available at the link.
