The Mission

"Artek": a marvelous Land of Childhood.

A territory of friendship and peace, kindness and joy!

An open environment 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 "Camp of the Year" nomination.

Personality of a child is what we value the most. Our Mission is giving children 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 Ukrainian children and their foreign peers. For the last three years, our camp has become home for about 30 000 children 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, goodness, justice and care.

Our campers enjoy a happy and safe holiday 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) choice of activities: rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, catamarans, carting, trampolines, Bike Park, Alpine Park and bowling. For young and middle age 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!
