Summer is a long-awaited time for schoolchildren and a headache for parents with solving the question of how to arrange a productive and memorable vacation for a child. The tent camp was created so that children spend time in the fresh air with benefit and interesting.
How is the rest arranged?
Organizers choose a place in advance on a spacious meadow. More often a meadow is selected, which is located near a reservoir and forest. Children's camp can be stationary and portable.
If the vacation is planned with hiking in different places, then the guys break the town with the help of instructors as they move. Thus, stationary buildings are not being erected.
When the vacation is planned in one place, the campground is set up in advance. Dry closets and portable kitchens are on site. In this case, the children are only in one meadow, and they can go hiking for several hours near the camp.
One tent accommodates 2-4 people, depending on its size. They are installed close to each other. They lay soft inflatable mattresses and lay sleeping bags. Tents of instructors and counselors are located next to the nurseries. At night, in a queue, adults are on duty around the campfire and make sure that no strangers enter the territory and children do not leave it.
Campground for children: entertainment
Throughout the rest, the guys are constantly busy with developing activities and games. Creative competitions and sporting events are held daily. Children participate in concert programs and play outdoor games.
During their stay in the camp, children can study:
- ecology;
- diversity of flora and fauna;
- teamwork;
- history of the native land;
- musical skills (playing the guitar and songs for it).
In modern times, the biggest plus on vacation is the lack of televisions and computers. Thus, children understand that you can do many interesting things without having their own gadgets nearby.
What do children learn?
The campground is not only intended for the rest of children, but also serves as a place for acquiring certain skills that will be useful in later life. When sending a child here, parents should understand that no one here will feed him with a spoon and change his socks. Of course, the staff strictly monitors the discipline and safety of children, but the child must service itself.
Such skills are very lacking for modern children. Parents are increasingly, in essence, suffering from hyper-custody, and this is only a minus for the younger generation. Teenagers do not know how to wash their things and in the kitchen can not perform basic actions.
In the camp, the guys for several days understand that their mother is not nearby, and begin to take care of themselves on their own. Thus, responsibility for oneself increases several times for one change of stay in nature.
During this time, teens learn to care for and help younger children. In such an atmosphere and conditions, the desire to be in demand comes very quickly. Children tidy up in and around their tents. They also learn to find a common language in a team with other guys, regardless of the nature and habits of each.
Tourist development
Campground is the development of specific skills. The ability in any weather to light a fire or equip a shelter - such classes are held here regularly. Among older children, kitchen duty is established. Girls and boys learn to peel potatoes and clean dishes.
In their free time, guys with experienced instructors are involved in tourist orientations. The training program includes:
- ability to use a map and compass;
- overcoming an obstacle course;
- first aid
In the evenings, counselors make a big bonfire. Near him, all the inhabitants of the camp gather and have fun. Most of all the guys remember:
- guitar songs;
- collective games;
- sketches and competitions.
On hot days, children bathe in ponds and take sun baths. Walking tours are provided daily.
Child safety
The summer camp in its state has only trained workers. Counselors are people with teacher education. In the recreation area around the clock is a medical worker.
The camp has bright signs along the perimeter, which indicate that there are children. Specially prepared beaches:
- the beach is sandy and clean;
- the bottom is removed from snags and glasses;
- The swimming area is fenced by buoys.
All adults have round-the-clock access to communication. An ambulance or other services can be called at the right time.
In the dining room, food is checked for suitability several times a day. Products are imported only from institutions that have permission to deliver them to child care facilities. Children from 10 to 17 years old are allowed in the camp only with medical permission for this type of recreation.
In addition to teachers, professional athletes and instructors from various tourism organizations work here.
