In summer, most children attend pioneer camps. Educational establishments distribute vouchers to one, and parents choose one or another children's vacation to others. But which pioneer camp is better? Where will the children be happy and healthy? The answers to these questions will be provided by the Dream Camp.
Camp location
There are many camps with the name “Dream”: in the Republic of Bashkortostan (Miyakinsky District), Moscow (Podolsky District), the Crimean Republic (Yevpatoriya), the village of Livadia (near the city of Nakhodka), the Nizhny Novgorod Region (Arzamas District), Krasnodar Territory (the village of Kabardinka) ), Tuapse (Dzhubga village).
Each region boasts an educational institution with the same name. In our case, we will talk about two pioneer camps of the same name located in Podolsk and Yevpatoriya. Why exactly about them?
- In both cases, this is a dream camp. The child will not only have fun, but will also improve his health.
- Favorable climate with beautiful nature. The Podolsk climate does not require acclimatization in Russian children, and the Crimean heat is easily tolerated thanks to the forest and the sea.
- A rich educational program. Children not only have fun, play sports, but also attend excursions, creative studios.
Camp "Dream" (Podolsk)
Previously, this pioneer camp was called "Names of Podolsk cadets." It was built in 1978 for children whose parents were employees of OKB Gidropress. Since 1996, the camp has changed its legal status. Today it is called the Municipal Institution "Children and Youth Health Center" Dream "."
The head of the pioneer camp is Nikolai Igorevich Pestov. New playgrounds, sports grounds are also being built, reconstructed, updated on the territory of the center, and the necessary equipment is purchased. In addition to wellness programs, educational events (cups, rallies, meetings) are actively held with children of different ages, abilities, and health.
Every spring counselors, educators, and pioneer camp staff are informed of their functional responsibilities. Carers are distributed in groups. They must draw up a plan for the entire vacation, combine camp activities with the squad, take into account all the features of a healthy holiday. Podolsk troops differ in bracelets of a certain color scheme.
Information for parents
Every year in the summer, about seven hundred and fifty school-age children come to the Dream Camp. Many parents prefer to enroll their child in two shifts, but due to repetitive activities, children ask to go home. In the Podolsk camp this is excluded. Each shift is subject to new topics, contests, programs, events, so the child will be interested all year round.
Schoolchildren are organized by patriotic games ("Zarnitsa"), theatrical holidays ("Neptune Day"), concerts, festivals ("League of Nations", "Video Battles"), acting, design competitions, trips, field trips, and creative groups.
Most of the time children spend on the street. Counselors organize collective (“Quest”, “Sea Battle”) and sports games, entertaining fairs, where children have fun, learn about the original Russian traditions. This allows teachers to consolidate physical skills in children, develop creative skills, intellectual knowledge.
Sports, entertainment
Employees pay special attention to sports. Every day, children engage in floorball, pioneer ball, streetball sports shooting, chess, table tennis, volleyball, football. The acquired skills are fixed by relay races, fun starts. Each event is thought out by the teacher, taking into account child-age characteristics.
Children compete with each other, other units of their camp. In addition, the pioneer camp "Dream" systematically holds inter-camp sports competitions - Spartakiads, approved by the Committee on Physical Culture.
By the way, the camp hosts creative events, festivals that visit other camps in the city of Podolsk.
