About Us

With the support of the Ukrainian Bible Camp, Tropinka camp welcomed its first campers in the summer of 2010. Using the Ukrainian Bible Camp (UBC)’s camp property on Pigeon Lake, they had found the perfect spot. With many years of experience, Alexander Krupin organized the business and the organizational side of the camp and Alexei Lvinskyi acted as the program director. The vision for the camp was established as a Russian speaking camp that provides a high quality camping experience to children from the Toronto community while educating them in the basics of the Christian faith. Many young adults and teenagers from Canada and United States have joined the leadership team in Toronto to form a community of staff and volunteers that create a safe and fun environment for the campers. Several hundreds of children have attended our camp over the years with over 60% of them are returning year after year.

In 2013, Yevheniy Mykhailov has expressed a desire to start a Tropinka Camp in Montreal, Quebec, his home town. Yevheniy was joined by Olga Moskalenko as a senior staff member.

With the support of Ontario leadership staff, camp Tropinka established a second permanent location in a province of Quebec in 2014. A partnership has been formed with Camp Frontier Lodge and camp Tropinka continues to use this location till this day, which is conveniently located two hours away from Montreal. Camp Tropinka Quebec has become a popular choice for the Russian speaking families in Montreal.

Tropinka is the largest Russian speaking overnight camp in Canada. Our aim is to excel in all aspects of providing overnight camp experience to Canadian children. We carefully select and train our staff members to accommodate every child and continue to enjoy our camp in a safe and fun environment. In years to come, we are hoping to open throughout Canada and United States.
