A one-day camping trip for the second year students of Physical Education Department was the true test of endurance. It was the celebration of the International Day of Tourism.


That day was full of the rain, kindling fire from wet firewood and then drying clothes and other extreme entertainment. But everything in order.

Three groups of second year students of Physical Education Department under the supervision of the lecturers of Physical education theory and methodology chair Volodymyr P. Komar, Lyudmyla P. Karanska and the lecturer of Sports disciplines chair Maksym M. Vakarchuk went to the tract "Surchane" (Bilogrudivka forest). The experienced leaders organized a rapid movement to the place of bivouac and kindling of fire, where the students could warm up and dry their clothes. In an hour the rain stopped, the sun raised and the spirit rose.

The program consisted of the following competitions:

  • "Kindling the fire";
  • "The competition of rank and songs";
  • "Installing the tent";
  • "Competition of porridge cooks";
  • "Transportation of victim";
  • "Targeting by the azimuth";




The best tourists are the 22nd group students led by the captain Oleksandr Byelkyn.

Such activities at Physical Education Department are traditional. And then the students can participate in competition in athletics, weightlifting, sports games and others.
