  • A Bit of Ukraine in East Chatham
    neighbors A bit of Ukraine in East Chatham Nestled in the foothills of East Chatham is Vocha Tropa (Wolves’ Trek) Plast Camp, a Ukrainian Scout Camp chosen for its woods, trails, mountain views and resemblance to the Carpathian Mountains in Western Ukraine. By Leslie Korda Sixty-five years ago in November of 1952, a real estate ad ran for the sale of a 332-acre property tucked into the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in East Chatham. The sellers were Frank and Mary Chilson, the buy- ers a committee of parents who paid $35,000 for the property, $20,000 with a bank loan, and $15,000 raised through donations. On March 4th, 1953, closing papers were signed and Mr. Chilson was presented with a suitcase filled with $15,000 in cash. That $35,000 and sixty-five years of continuous dedicated hard work by mostly volunteers created a children’s camp known as the Vocha Tropa (Wolves’ Trek) Plast Camp, a Ukrainian Scout Camp. That particular site was chosen over several others for its woods, trails, mountain views and resemblance to the Carpathian Mountains and pine forests in Western Ukraine. The Ukrainian Scouting Organization was founded in 1911 in Ukraine but went under- ground in 1939 after the Communists invaded. After World War II large numbers of people escaped to displaced persons camps in Austria and Germany. From approximately 1945-51, while living in these camps, churches and Plast/Scout organizations were re-established by the immigrants. Eventually about 80,000 people from the Austrian and German camps were resettled in the United States, mainly in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois.
