Ukrainian children displaced by war attend summer camp near Kyiv

As the war in Ukraine continues, one summer camp is helping children who have been displaced since Russia’s invasion of the country.

The 7Fields Eco Camp near Zalissia National Nature Park just outside Kyiv, is hoping to offer creative and psychological support for children of families who have been uprooted by the war but are still in Ukraine. 

The camp hopes to support 300 children between the ages of 7 and 15 this summer, according to Getty.

Though the organization 7fields has been hosting a summer camp for the last six years, this year, the group decided to make the camp specifically for children who have been affected by the war – and free for their parents.

The 7Fields Eco Camp has been fundraising to cover the costs of bringing children to the camp. It currently has raised funds to host 100 children, with a goal of hosting 300 children, according to the website.
