American Ukrainian
Aid Foundation

This summer, the American Ukrainian Aid Foundation is proud to launch its 3rd annual Healing Summer Camp program, providing life-changing camp experiences for orphans, displaced children, and children with special needs in Cherkasy, Zolotonosha, and Smila — Ukrainian communities deeply impacted by the war.

Through a combination of overnight and day camps, more than 400 children will step into safe, structured, and nurturing environments designed to help them heal.

Your donation will directly support transformative experiences, including:

• Guided hiking excursions and nature exploration
• Field trips to zoos, museums, theaters, and heritage parks
• Boating, fishing, rowing, and other water activities
• Singing, dancing, theater performances, and puppet shows
• Evening campfire gatherings with storytelling and s’mores
• Group games, sports, and team-building activities
• Support from trained counselors, teachers, and volunteers

Beyond recreation, these camps provide something even more essential: psychological and emotional support. Experienced counselors and educators will create structured opportunities for children to process trauma, build friendships, and restore a sense of trust and belonging.

We need your help to send as many children as possible to camp this summer. Every contribution directly funds a child’s opportunity to heal, reconnect, and reclaim a sense of normal childhood.

Thanks to supporters like you, our summer camp program is entering its third year, continuing a mission to provide safe spaces, emotional recovery, and the healing  they deserve.
