Why Ski Camp?
For more than 75 years, Burlaky Ski Camp has brought generations of Plastuny together in the mountains. From homemade skis in post-war Europe to today’s Vermont slopes, it’s become a tradition that’s less about learning how to ski and more about skiing together — building friendships, strengthening Ukrainian identity, and carrying forward a culture of grit and camaraderie.
