Rating of the best children's camps in Yekaterinburg in 2020

Summer is approaching, which means it's time for parents to think about where the child will go to rest. The best solution is a children's camp, where a kid or teenager will spend time with benefit and gain strength for the next school year. How to choose a suitable place for children to relax in Yekaterinburg for the summer of 2020 - we will consider further.

The camp solves several problems at once.

firstly, children's rest will not depend on the parents' vacation schedule, it will definitely not fail, will not be limited to a couple of weeks, and the child will not have to spend the remaining 2.5 months at home at the computer.

Secondly, the camp will allow you to socialize, make new acquaintances and improve communication skills.

Thirdly, the child will be under the supervision of counselors and live according to a certain daily routine, he will not have time to completely wean himself from school and will continue to develop during the holidays, which is useful from a pedagogical point of view.

How to choose a children's camp?

Camping is a fairly common practice, but many parents are worried about their children and hesitate to send them there. To reduce the degree of anxiety, you should discuss this issue with the child and, if he agrees, study in detail the proposals of nearby institutions. When choosing, attention should be paid to parameters such as:

1. The camp has the necessary documents to conduct activities - licenses, certificates. They must be presented on the organization's website or at its office. Their presence guarantees that the camp has passed government checks and is entitled to operate;
2. The nature of the reviews of people who have already used the services of the organization, posted on third-party sites. If they are positive, you can safely send your child to rest. Otherwise, you should continue your search;
3. Website and office of the company. Today, the market for services is quite competitive, so institutions try to present themselves in the eyes of clients in a favorable light. If the content of the site of the children's camp is not informative, there are no photographs of the camp territory and internal premises, and the office and managers look doubtful, it is better not to risk it and choose another option. The best option is to see the camp in person or learn about living conditions from parents whose children have already visited;
4. Compliance of the camp specialization with the interests of the child. If your child is not interested in sports and it is difficult for him to perform any physical activity, you should not send him to a sports camp. There is a chance that the baby will feel unsuccessful, will not be able to make friends and will remember the children's camp with horror for not a single year;
5. The term of the camp. It is better to give preference to proven and existing organizations for a long time. Some of them continue to work in the best traditions of the Soviet period and are hopelessly outdated in many ways.But the employees of newly created institutions can draw excellent prospects for you, but in reality everything will turn out to be completely different - the premises do not correspond to the declared ones, the counselors are recruited from inexperienced students, the teams are three times larger in the number of children, and it is simply impossible to look after everyone;
6. Professional experience of employees. The organization's website should contain information about employees and their work experience. There may be students among them, but they must work under the guidance of specialists with specialized pedagogical education, experience in working with children, creating and implementing educational programs.

Types of children's camps

Camps can be classified according to various reasons, such as location or focus.

By location, there are:

• Stationary - their buildings are located in one place, they work, as a rule, all year round;
• Tents - they imply rest in the style of a tourist trip and living in tents, but they usually do not change their place of deployment and are tied to a stationary infrastructure;
• Offsite - for each shift, the company rents different points, so the camp seems to be one, but it is located all the time in different places.

By program:

• Sanatoriums - involve children undergoing a wellness program and visiting medical procedures. They are located closer to nature, in ecologically clean areas;
• Sports - camps where young athletes who play football, basketball, taekwondo and other sports gather. There they can continue training during the holidays according to programs of various levels of complexity specially designed for them;
• Profile or educational - their program is based on any interests or hobbies that are fixed or developed in the process of rest. For example, journalistic camps or linguistic ones.

There are a number of other varieties - seasonal, year-round, urban and suburban, private and public. It is not necessary to know all of them. The main thing is to make sure that the institution's program matches your child's hobbies before making a choice.
