Sova Camp grew out of love for children and years of experience creating unforgettable events. We don't just organize summer — we build an environment where every child grows, discovers themselves and finds friends.
Sova Camp is a new chapter in the long story of the Sova Events brand.
For many years we've been creating parties, birthdays and large-scale events for children in the Chicago area. We've seen hundreds of bright eyes and thousands of smiles — and realized that children deserve more than just isolated celebrations. They deserve an environment.
That's how the idea of Sova Camp was born — a space that brings together pedagogy, culture, sports, creativity and values. A place where the Ukrainian diaspora preserves language and roots, and where every child feels at home.

We believe childhood is the foundation an entire adult is built on.
That's why at Sova Camp we don't just entertain — we build.
Not lectures — but real situations, projects, experiments, movement and teamwork.
We see a person, not a participant. Support, acceptance, attention to each child.
Ukrainian + English — without formal lessons. Always with respect for culture.
A premium approach — from pedagogy to meals. Details matter here.
Sova Camp is staffed by educators, mentors, psychologists and specialists in their fields. Meet the key faces of our team.
