The Mission

"Artek": a marvelous Land of Childhood.

A territory of friendship and peace, kindness and joy!

A friendly and inclusive community sharing the ideals of mutual trust, honesty, sincerity and tolerance!

Adventures and discoveries!

New experiences, emotions and opportunities!

In a short period of time, Artek has become the leader in children's recreation in Ukraine!

In the course of the Third International Children's Camp Festival, Artek was recognized in a prestigious nomination "Camp of the Year".

Personality of a child is what we value the most. Our Mission is giving kids opportunities for growth and self-expression by involving them into a variety of activities, stimulating their intellectual, creative, physical and emotional improvement.

Two major Ukrainian brands – "Bukovel" and "Artek" – have merged to conceive an attractive, safe recreation environment for children and their foreign peers. For the last three years, our camp has become home for about 30 000 kids from all around the world: Ukraine, Austria, Australia, Belarus, Great Britain, Israel, Italy, Canada, China, Lebanon, Moldova, Netherlands, Germany, UAE, Poland, Russia, Slovenia, USA, France, Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania.

Through the years, Artek grows and evolves together with those who live there. Constant changes are essential to create a vivid, enjoyable atmosphere for everyone to remember. Tradition and humanistic ideals remain the same though. For decades, Artek follows the Code of friendship, empathy and care.

Our campers enjoy a saturated camp experience in a marvelous Carpathian mountain setting, being introduced to a variety of outdoor activities and personality development courses. We have all the necessary facilities for sports and entertainment – concert halls, workshops, playgrounds, swimming pools.

Wide (and expanding) list of activities: rock climbing, horseback tours, mountain biking, catamarans, carting, trampolines, Bike Park, Alpine Park and bowling. For young and middle-aged kids we have bicycles, quad bikes, shooting gallery, slot machines and air hockey.

Our enthusiastic staff are always exceeding expectations and giving children such an amazing experience that they can't wait to come back!
