We are returning to Soyuzivka (Soy-ya-`zyou-ka) in Kerhonkson, NY for our annual Catskill Weekend. Soyuzivka is a Ukrainian Village Resort in the heart of the Shawangunks west of New Paltz.
Our Society has spent autumns hunting mushrooms in this area and hopes this autumn will be as productive as it has been in years past.
The weekend begins with a Friday night travelers’ buffet supper at the Main House Dining Room where all meals will be served.
We have reserved the Kiev Lodge, a beautiful house that sleeps 18-20 people in single & double rooms. The house features a spacious living room and a balcony offering a magnificent view of the Catskills to the north. Should we exceed that number we’ve also reserved Halych Lodge to handle overflow.
There will also be rooms in Sich the Dormitory available. These registrants must bring their own bedding and bathroom towels.
And we will offer a meal plan for commuters.
Saturday starts with breakfast, followed by a foray in nearby forests. We’ll split up into two or three groups. After a boxed lunch, we’ll do more foraging in the area. We’ll have a mycology session in the late afternoon followed by Saturday night dinner. Sunday we’ll have a breakfast before breaking for our return trip to New York with stops along the way for mushroom hunts in the Shawangunks.
Here are the various accommodation offerings:
| Room Type | Total Cost |
|---|---|
| Single room Fri & Sat with 5 meals | $510.00 |
| Double Occupancy per person with 5 meals | $340.00 |
| Dorm accommodation per person 5 meals | $265.00 |
