Szolyva, Ukraine

Svaliava (Ukrainian: Свалява, German: Schwalbach or Schwallbach, Hungarian: Szolyva (the z and the l are silent) is a city located on the Latorytsia River in the Zakarpattia Oblast (province) in western Ukraine.

The site is in the small town of Szolyva about 50 miles east of the border crossing at Csop and consists of a substantial modern building with separate dining and teaching areas, sleeping accommodation for about forty campers and separate rooms for staff. The cooking, dining and washing areas are good as are the toilet facilities. There is an indoor table tennis and games area and plenty room outside for ball and net games as well as a bonfire site.

Our main partner is the former bishop Rev László Horkay from Nagdobrony who has asked Rev. Tibor Szimkovics to lead this new camp.
