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 expressed his desire to establish a Tropinka Camp in Montreal, Quebec, his hometown.

With support from Ontario's leadership staff, Camp Tropinka established a second permanent location in the province of Quebec in 2014. A partnership was formed with Camp Frontier Lodge, and Tropinka continues to operate at this location, conveniently situated two hours from Montreal. Camp Tropinka Quebec has become a popular choice for Russian-speaking families in Montreal.

Tropinka is the largest Russian-speaking overnight camp in Canada. Our mission is to excel in all aspects of providing an exceptional overnight camp experience to Canadian children. We carefully select and train our staff members to serve every child and ensure our camp remains a safe, fun environment. In the years to come, we hope to expand throughout Canada and the United States.
