Recently, children's camps with a military-patriotic bias are popular. All the necessary conditions have been created for life and relaxation in these institutions: separate rooms for sleeping and meals, a playground for sports, a dining room. Children’s reviews of the camps are positive. While there, they are trained in a variety of crafts.
The main goals and objectives of the military-patriotic camp program
Each and every camp has its own goals. Management timely takes care of the implementation of the planned programs. The main tasks of the organizers are as follows:
- To create a favorable atmosphere for the development of morality in children, the formation of a worldview.
- To instill a sense of patriotism in children, an active civic position, and to attract them to participate in educational, creative and sports events.
- To instill in the younger generation a love of the motherland, a sense of pride in their native land, a desire to contribute to its prosperity.
- Conduct classes with a military bias in order to prepare for military service.
The main goal of the military-patriotic camp is to promote the development of children in various directions, to accustom to work, to respect elders, to love nature.
Characteristics of program participants
The action plan is designed for the summer period and is carried out in two shifts. The basic composition of the military camp includes children aged 11 to 18 years. As a rule, these are students of educational institutions.
The organizers pay special attention to children from large, poor, inferior families, as well as to those adolescents whose parents are retired or disabled. Children in difficult life situations are also welcome in such institutions. The participants in the military field camp are teenagers of the “risk group” from the cadet class.
Students stay during the camp shift in units of 25 people. To date, the number of participants in this organization has increased significantly. According to the organizers, the children arrive at the military camp of their own free will.
Program features
The practical application of pedagogical methods contributes to the formation and development of life ideals in a child. The program aims to educate a person in certain skills and qualities, knowledge and skills that are necessary in modern society.
The uniqueness of this project lies in the ability of the organizers of the military camp to combine several types of exercises at the same time, forming the initial level of the guys' abilities - these are combat, combat training. Children improve physical endurance, receive information about service in the Russian troops.
This program is in demand, although it is considered short-term in duration. The work of some children's military camps is designed for 3 days. The guys arrive on the first day of the week and return home on Thursday afternoon. In others, the shift lasts 21 days.
The units are run by professional athletes, retired military personnel and specially trained educators. Classes are held in strict discipline, but, despite this, the children are treated like children.
Advantages and disadvantages
Such camps have nothing to do with institutions such as military schools or the army. Most school students do not mind spending their holidays in a summer military camp, studying hand-to-hand combat, rock climbing, and mastering shooting from various weapons. Moreover, not only young men like to spend time in such institutions. Such institutions, as a rule, control state structures, which provides children with protection and a good rest, which allows them to temper their character and strengthen their muscles.
One of the main advantages of a military camp for adolescents is discipline, which neither the organizers nor the children violate.
The guys who are in these places increase the degree of their physical development. They have the opportunity to control their own strengths, to show abilities in various competitions. All this happens under the supervision of highly trained trainers and instructors who teach them how to handle weapons and equipment properly. Participants of the event acquire skills and self-defense skills, learn to survive in nature. In a military camp, most of the time they are in the fresh air.
However, getting a ticket to this kind of institution is quite difficult, as they are created on the basis of clubs and youth institutions that have been regularly functioning for many years. Therefore, it is worth thinking about a ticket in advance.

Survival Camp for Teens

Traveling, competitions, various games and fun strengthen willpower, develop patience and self-confidence in children and adolescents.
