Summer Camps in the Carpathians
Restoration in the Mountains
Among the picturesque peaks of the Carpathians unfolds the unique “SviTY” summer camp program — a space where adolescents who have experienced traumatic events of war find a path to inner restoration and new opportunities. Our program is based on a scientifically grounded methodology, combining trauma-informed pedagogy, a restorative approach, and principles of non-violent communication.
More Than a Camp — A Place of Transformation
The “SviTY” camp in the Carpathians provides a safe environment where each adolescent can experience emotional relief, form genuine friendships, and create memories that will inspire them for a lifetime. Here, the natural beauty of the mountains is combined with professional psychological support, creating ideal conditions for personal growth.
A Comprehensive Approach to Recovery
Every day, our experienced psychologists lead specially designed workshops focused on understanding the participants’ values and building a circle of trust. Group discussions and reflections on important life topics help adolescents reframe their experiences and discover inner resources for further growth.
We place special emphasis on developing critical thinking and constructive communication skills through interactive exercises and discussions.
Thematic workshops on self-development and resilience provide adolescents with practical tools to effectively navigate life challenges and improve their emotional well-being.
The Carpathian mountains serve as a natural therapeutic platform for physical and emotional relief.
Our program includes engaging hikes along mountain trails, adrenaline-filled rafting on rivers, energetic morning runs, and refreshing swims in mountain waters.
These activities not only support adolescents’ physical fitness but also act as catalysts for uncovering new aspects of their personalities, sources of joy from overcoming challenges, and opportunities to discover hidden talents.
Shared achievements foster strong friendships and enhance self-confidence.

Participants of the “SviTY” summer camps gain far more than just a vacation. They return home with:

A Safe Space for a New Beginning

The “SviTY” Carpathian camp offers a unique restorative experience amidst the mountain peaks.
