The camp's concept is based on combining fun and practical activities. Therefore, participants are offered the most exciting things the Carpathians have to offer and are immersed together in an incredible world of adventures, each of which will also serve as an important asset for developing their character and acquiring skills that will be useful later in life. These adventures will help them gain self-confidence, overcome obstacles, successfully realize their potential, become more independent and responsible, learn to organize their time and life, and, most importantly, experience a truly memorable summer!

The camp welcomes true adventurers who appreciate the romance of a forest fire surrounded by friends, the taste of homemade hunter's sausages, mountain hikes, and social media blogs to share their adventures with friends. The camp traditionally hosts the KinoLife children's film festival, where everyone can try their hand at acting, directing, or cinematography. There's also a creative clothing and hairstyling contest, a body art contest, a shadow theater festival, a cosplay contest, and a masquerade ball. Take part in a master chef and make varenyky dumplings, discuss important issues during a debate, transform into a courageous warrior on American Indian Day, participate in a creative crafts competition, share your secrets in a scary story contest, join the mysterious Kupala bonfire, and find the papor flower—all of this awaits you at the Forest Life camp!

Throughout the camp, participants will have the opportunity to test their physical prowess, teamwork, ingenuity, and creativity—everyone is unique! They will also have the opportunity to prove themselves in a team quest, participate in the volleyball championship, the Mountain Football League, and a fun Spartakiad.

Team games, sports, and role-playing games have a positive impact on character development, instill self-confidence, promote socialization, and teach children independence and responsibility. Children can also enjoy romantic bonfires on the slopes of the Carpathian Mountains, exciting excursions to the ancient Tustan Fortress, the magical Kamenets Waterfall, and the magical Dead Lake. They can also visit the Dovbush Rocks, the Hutsul House Museum, and a 400-year-old wooden church. And many other exciting adventures await!

Camp location, living conditions, food and safety

A camp vacation combines safety, comfort, and care for your child's health. We create conditions that allow parents to rest easy and children to enjoy every day.

Ecological environment

The ecological environment is one of the main reasons why Forest Life is the best choice for children's summer vacations. Situated in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, on the grounds of the renowned Slavske resort, amid centuries-old beech and pine forests, it's a place where nature remains pristine and the air is filled with healing properties.

For parents, this means their child will be relaxing in a healing environment. The Carpathian air, rich in oxygen, ozone, and pine essential oils, strengthens the immune system, normalizes the nervous system, helps relieve the effects of depression and stress, and improves breathing. It's a natural preventative measure that works every day.

Children are especially sensitive to environmental issues, which is why spending time among pine and beech forests is so beneficial for them. The air here is saturated with phytoncides—natural substances that have antiseptic properties and cleanse the body. In the Carpathians, even the level of vitamin C in plants is higher than in lemons, making the region a true source of natural vitamins. It's no wonder the Carpathians are called the lungs of Ukraine.

The mountain atmosphere has not only a healing but also a magical effect. Legends about the fern flower, Dovbush's treasures, and Hutsul traditions come to life here. For children, this isn't just a vacation, but an immersion into a world of fairy tales and adventures, where every day brings new discoveries.

Thus, Forest Life offers not only an active and fun camp but also a unique ecological environment that heals, inspires, and fosters a love of nature in children. It's the best option for parents who want to combine a safe vacation with health benefits.

Camp infrastructure

The camp is located in a specially designed area for children's recreation, nestled in the lowlands of a mountain range. Children are accommodated in a comfortable 3-star hotel, which features a large restaurant, a conference hall, a first-aid station, soccer and volleyball fields, a sports ground, a fire pit, barbecues, a swimming pool ideal for children, gazebos, and a covered pavilion for activities.

The hotel has its own shelter and backup power supply, making it completely autonomous, meaning even in unforeseen situations, children remain in a safe environment with all the necessary amenities.

The premises are equipped with Wi-Fi and high-quality telephone service, allowing children to stay in constant contact with their parents, and parents to rest easy knowing they can always receive news from their child.

Not far from the camp there is a crystal clear river Opir with a gentle slope to the water.

Safe space and medical support

Children's safety and care are our top priorities. That's why vacations at Forest Life are designed to give parents complete peace of mind about their children.

The camp is located in a permanently guarded, fenced-in area away from highways, meaning children are in a protected environment where they can play and relax freely without risk. A vehicle is always on duty to quickly transport children to doctors if necessary. A medical service agreement with the Slavska City Hospital (located 3 km from the camp) guarantees professional medical care. Every child undergoes a medical examination before arrival, and all staff have medical records and are certified to work with children. This ensures health monitoring and an additional level of security.

Each group of 10 children is supervised by a teacher with relevant training and experience in children's camps. This format allows for maximum attention to be given to each participant. Teachers are with the children 24/7, accompanying them during all activities, including swimming in the pool.

Thus, Forest Life is a place where children are constantly monitored, receive professional medical support, and have all the conditions for a safe and comfortable vacation. For parents, this means confidence and peace of mind, and for children, the freedom to enjoy a worry-free summer.

Accommodation of children

The camp is located in a hotel whose atmosphere captivates you at first glance. From the outside, it resembles an ancient European castle, but inside, it's like stepping into a real Hogwarts! The high staircase, cozy rooms, and warm interior colors, along with a large hall with a real fireplace, create a special atmosphere—every day here is filled with charm and adventure.

Comfortable living conditions

Children's accommodations are organized to ensure parents' confidence in their children's comfort and safety. We offer modern, designer-designed 2-, 3-, and 4-bed rooms ranging from 26 to 36 square meters. This is the perfect setting: children have their own space while still experiencing a friendly, community-oriented atmosphere.

Each room is equipped with everything necessary for convenience:

• beds with orthopedic mattresses.
• wardrobes.
• bedside tables, a table and armchairs or chairs.
• mirror and hangers.

The furniture is made of environmentally friendly wood, and the atmosphere of the rooms is warm and homely.

Each child receives an individual set of bed linen, changed weekly. This ensures they can rest comfortably after a busy day.

Each room has a private bathroom with modern fixtures, and hot and cold water is available 24 hours a day. The rooms are regularly cleaned (every two days), ensuring children have constant access to hygiene and amenities that meet the standards of a quality vacation.

Healthy and tasty food

Meals at the camp are organized so parents can be confident their child is receiving only the best. A full menu is provided four times a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. This ensures children have enough energy for an active day, and their diet is balanced and nutritious.

The menu is carefully thought out down to the last detail: it's delicious, balanced, and healthy. All dishes are prepared with clean well water and only natural, proven ingredients. Every day, the children receive meat, fish, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade baked goods, juices, and compotes. We combine health and taste so that children eat with an appetite and a smile.

For those who need it, vegetarian or dietary menus are available—each child receives individual attention. The cafeteria has a buffet where children can purchase water, sweets, fruit, or ice cream. This provides additional comfort and allows for a varied diet.

During excursions and trips, children are provided with balanced packed rations—sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, juices, and snacks. A packed lunch for the return journey is also included in the transfer price, ensuring a comfortable and tasty journey home.

The rule is simple: food should not only be healthy but also uplifting! Thus, the meals at Forest Life combine health, taste, and safety. For parents, this means confidence in their child's health, and for children, delicious dishes and enjoyment from every meal.

How to get to the camp

The staff ensures that the journey to camp is as comfortable and safe as the camp itself. For parents, this means their child is under the supervision of caregivers from the moment they leave their hometown.

We organize transfers from Kyiv, Dnipro, Kamianske, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, and Lviv. Our representatives meet children directly at the train station, where they check in, collect medical certificates, and sign contracts. This ensures that each participant is immediately cared for and supervised. Departures are scheduled according to train or bus schedules, and the presence of caregivers provides parents with peace of mind and confidence. While the transfer service is an additional fee, we guarantee care and attention every step of the way, from boarding to arrival at camp.

Self-drive.

By private transport: from Kyiv, take the Kyiv–Zhytomyr–Khmelnytskyi–Ternopil–Stryi–Slavske highway (650 km). GPS coordinates: N 48.848414; E 23.444997. Route map: https://bit.ly/48uEEnr. Before reaching the center of Slavske, turn right at the OKKO gas station, and after 900 meters you'll be at the camp!

Insurance

Children's safety is a priority, so the staff ensures not only their comfort but also reliable medical support.

A mandatory requirement for participation in the camp is medical insurance, which guarantees prompt assistance should the need arise. At parents' request, the organizers can arrange medical insurance for children directly during registration. The staff partners only with reputable insurance companies that provide high-quality and prompt service.

This way, parents can be confident that even in the most unexpected situation, their child will receive the necessary help—quickly, professionally, and without unnecessary hassle.
