The idea of this program is simple: to give older people (those in their 60s and up) the opportunity to step outside their usual rhythm of life, cheer up, gain emotions and get energized in the company of peers. In an atmosphere free of discomfort and misunderstanding.
The group will be accompanied by two team leaders. The second is an experienced hiker, whose task is to handle all organizational issues of setting up camp and conducting the hike.
The first is Olga Ivanivna, my (Taras Pozdniy's) mom. She's 60 now and she's one of those who never sits still. Every weekend she gathers friends and takes them to the forest. From time to time someone new joins their company. I see how much people need this, and how grateful they are to my mom for organizing it all and pushing them toward something new. Through her own example, my mom shows that, regardless of age, you can live an active life with a positive mindset.
Olga Ivanivna is a psychologist with more than 30 years of experience. At 58, she climbed Kilimanjaro (5895 m), and a year before that she was at the Everest base camp.
During the two-day hike, she will conduct mini-trainings on how to maintain a positive mindset and stay active at any age.
This hike is for my mom and for your parents. To add new colors to their lives!
Experienced team leaders from the KULUAR hiking club will accompany the group along the entire route, making your trip as interesting and safe as possible!
Living joyfully regardless of age. That's the main idea of the program. This hike is worth joining, as it offers the chance to make new friends with shared interests, open yourself up to new experiences - spending a night in a tent, taking a walk through the beautiful Oleksandria Dendrological Park, and much more.
The manager who will consult you before the program will share all the details from personal experience!
Over 12,000 participants have already joined Kuluar trips, and 97.8% were satisfied. We're confident you'll love it too!
On this weekend hike, you'll enjoy: the aesthetic pleasure of walking through Oleksandriya Park, camping overnight on the high bank of the Ros River, a delicious dinner and breakfast cooked over a campfire, relaxing outdoors in great company, and much more.
Participants meet around 11:00 (we'll confirm the exact time separately) in Bila Tserkva, at the "Kryty Rynok" stop, near the Kyoto restaurant. This is the final stop for minibuses from Kyiv, so you'll need to cross to the opposite side of the road.
After the group gathers, we head out for a sightseeing walk through Oleksandriya dendrological park. It is one of the most beautiful and largest parks in Europe, built in the 18th century.
We'll visit all the main landmarks of the park, such as the "Ruins," "Echo Colonnade," and "Chinese Bridge," and if the group wishes, we'll take a walk up Paliy Hill. From its summit, you can enjoy beautiful views of the bends of the Ros River flowing right beneath us.
After the walk through the park, we'll gather the tents, food, and other group gear, cross to the other side of the river, and set up camp on a cozy forest glade.
In the evening, we'll get to know each other, chat, and have a mini-training session led by Olha Ivanivna.
The morning starts with a group warm-up, and after a good stretch, we start preparing breakfast over the campfire. Food cooked over fire always turns out especially tasty!
We'll spend half the day in the forest, playing active games, walking, and enjoying conversation and nature. Olha Ivanivna will answer participants' questions and, at the group's request, delve deeper into one of the topics related to living in harmony with yourself, positive thinking, or raising children and grandchildren.
After lunch, we gradually start breaking camp and head home.
Over the weekend, we'll gain new knowledge and a boost of energy for living joyfully and in harmony!
We check the weather forecast for the next couple of days and dress accordingly. Be prepared for anything - a raincoat is a must!

The city of Bila Tserkva is located on the international highway M-05 (E-95), and getting here from Kyiv is quick and easy. Minibuses depart from various points in Kyiv from early morning until late evening, both to and from the city. Boarding points: Odeska Square (metro station "Teremky"), the parking lot near the exit of "Palats Ukrainy" metro station, and "Kyiv" bus station (near "Vokzalna" metro station). The fare is 60 hryvnias, and minibuses depart every 20-30 minutes. Travel time is 40-60 minutes, depending on traffic and the departure point (including possible traffic jams within Kyiv itself). You can also easily get there by hitchhiking from "Teremky" metro station.
All minibuses from these points pass through Soborna Square, where you need to get off. The stop's coordinates are 49.79154 30.11382 (just enter these numbers into Google's search bar :) Then cross the road and, at the stop, take a city minibus or trolleybus that passes by "Oleksandria" Park. These are trolleybuses No. 1, 4, and minibuses No. 22, 4. You won't have to wait more than 5 minutes, and the ride takes 12-15 minutes; get off at the "Oleksandria Park" stop (the central entrance to the park).
From Bila Tserkva to Kyiv, you can take the same minibuses; the last one departs from the bus station on Soborna Square at 20:00.
During the day, a snack with tea/coffee; in the evening and morning, a hot meal with tea/coffee, and drinking water for all participants. Please be sure to mention in your questionnaire if you don't eat certain foods.
Check the weather forecast for the next couple of days and dress accordingly. Be prepared for anything - a raincoat is a must!
We don't have strict age limits, but we focus on participants over 50. We want to create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and relaxed, being roughly in the same age range.
