Camp UNITY Director
Kharkiv
Hello guys,
I am glad to welcome you in our camp. My name is Bogdan Lapay (BV for short). I am the director of Kharkiv Linguistic School “I LOVE English”. This year I am a director of Camp UNITY-2015. I have been working with students for a long time. My life is devoted to teaching. I love to teach kids something new. I am sure that there will be a lot of things for you to learn in the camp because almost all of our staffers have been to the United States.
My passion is English. As you all know English is the main thing at our camp. We are here because we love it. I hope that this camp will help you all in your future life because the things we teach here are useful. I hope that you will not regret participating in this camp. I am sure that we will have a lot of good memories after these ten days in Odessa. Let’s do our best to make this camp an unforgettable experience for all of us.
I cannot wait for camp to start because when it starts I will get a chance to meet all of you and just to have fun in an American way.
Camp UNITY rocks.

Hi, everybody!
My name is Anastasiia and I am glad to be a part of the amazing summer event which is about to happen! I come from a great ancient city Chernihiv but almost 5 years of my mature life I've spent in magnificent Kharkiv that has become my second home.
I am passionate about teaching foreign languages because I get to know a great number of unique and awesome people. Working with youth broadens my thinking and teaches me to perceive this world in bright colors. The other thin I am fond of is solving crimes like Sherlock, because my major is law. I am a graduate of National Law Academy of Ukraine. I spend free time reading books and watching movies, shows in Polish. I do handmade sometimes and I can give you, guyss, some tips on it. I dedicate a lot of time to English because I work as English instructor in language school. I'm into Polish language cuisine and traditions, so if you have the same passion we can share it together
I've spent a year in the USA as a FLEX exchange student and lived on Alaska and in Washington State. I earned unforgettable memories and valuable experience gave me a lot and I want to share it with everyone.
I've participated in Camp UNITY twice and now I can't wait to meet all of you guys again!

Hey everyone :)
My name is Lina and I am currently spending my senior year at high school in the U.S. :)
This year I am planning to go to a university to get a major in foreign languages :)
I love running
and while being here I did two seasons of track and field :) I really enjoyed being a part of that team :)I have previous experience of being a participant in the Peace Corps camps, among them were: Camp HEAL, Camp MAKE, Camp Model UN and ABC Camp. I also took part in different projects organized by a Peace Corps Volunteer from my school a few years ago. Here, in America, I got a chance to go to a Civic Education Workshop, where we got to stay in Washington DC for a week and learn about different issues of the modern world.
I LOVE traveling - I've been to Washington DC, Baltimore, New York, Hershey, West Virginia and got a chance to go to Oregon at the beginning of my exchange year :)
I always said that camps like this one are like America, but not in America :) I am really excited to be a part of Camp UNITY this summer and meet a lot of new people :)

My name is Kateryna, but in America my friend call me Kate :) I am a FLEX exchange student of 2014-2015, so I've just come from the U.S. to be your cool counsellor and share my experience with you!
I really have something to tell you, because my year was just FANTASTIC! I was an FBLA club member, a tennis team manager, finished a Cambridge course on psychology and had fun with it all!
I like painting and singing. I had a pretty much of experience in singing in choir and solo performance, but I can't call myself a professional. Anyway, I'm good enough to teach you some songs. By the way my favorite type of music is rock.
That's all about me :)

Buenos dias!
Look out of the window - depressing cloudy skies have gone and the sun is smiling to you, summer is just around the corner. What does it mean? You are so right, Camp UNITY is about to start! Yaa!
My name is Dasha and I am from Dnipropetrovsk. I study International Economics at Oles Honchar University. I am a person who continuously strives for learning new things and never can sit still. Two years ago I was lucky to become a FLEX student, and spent my senior year in a small cozy southern town Oxford (not the one you thought about though :D), the state of Mississippi and it was absolutely wonderful!
After coming back I've been an active alumna, teaching English, spreading the idea of volunteerism and sharing the experience I've received. Recently I have also participated in Study Tours to Poland - an educational program for students from Eastern Europe and spent two amazing weeks in old Krakow.
It is my first time being a counselor in Camp Unity and I can't hardly wait to meet YOU! YOU are awesome and I am looking forward to knowing YOU!
So, let's get it started!

Daryna Lapay
Kharkiv
FLEX placement: Arizona, 2006-2007
They say every coin has two sides. This statement is about Daryna Lapay. It does not mean that during the day she is a human being and at night she turns into a werewolf. It is implied that at work and by studying she is a mature, educated specialist, but when the work is done she turns into Peter Pen, a child who does not want to grow up.
Daryna works as an English and German teacher at Kharkiv Linguistic School “I LOVE English”. She cannot stay at one place for a long time, that is why, she loves to travel. For example, as an exchange student on FLEX program she spent one year in Gilbert, Arizona. While being in America she visited such beautiful places, like San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Milwaukee, and, of course Phoenix, the capital of Arizona.
Daryna was lucky to be a counselor in Camp MAKE-2012 and to be the director of this fabulous camp in 2013. After that fantastic time that changes world perception, she understood that life consists of white and black stripes, but in Camp MAKE life becomes vivid like a rainbow. That is why this year she is happy to continue her work with Ukrainian youth in CAMP UNITY.
