Summer is a long-awaited time for schoolchildren and a headache for parents with the solution of the question of how to arrange a productive and memorable vacation for a child. The tent camp was created for children to spend time outdoors with benefit and interest.
How is the holiday?
The organizers choose in advance a place on a spacious meadow. More often a clearing is selected, which is located near a reservoir and a forest. Children's tent camp can be stationary and portable.
If the rest is planned with hiking trips to different areas, then the guys break the town with the help of instructors as they move. Thus, no permanent buildings are erected.
When a vacation is planned in one place, the campground is set up in advance. Biotoilets and portable kitchens are placed on the territory. 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. In themlay soft air mattresses and put sleeping bags. The tents of instructors and counselors are located next to the nurseries. At night, in turn, adults are on duty at the fire and make sure that strangers do not enter the territory and children do not leave it.
Tent Camp for Kids: Fun
Throughout the rest, the guys are constantly busy with developmental activities and games. Creative competitions and sports events are held daily. Children participate in concert programs and play outdoor games.
During the camp, children can study:
- ecology;
- diversity of flora and fauna;
- teamwork;
- history of native land;
- musical skills (guitar playing and songs).
In modern times, the biggest plus on vacation is the lack of TVs and computers. In this way, children understand that there are many interesting things to do without having their gadgets nearby.
What do children learn?
Tent camp is not only designed for children to relax, but also serves as a place to acquire certain skills that will be useful in later life. When sending a child here, parents should understand that no one will be here to spoon-feed and change socks. Of course, the staff strictly monitors the discipline and safety of children, but the child must serve himself.
Such skills are now very lacking in today's children. Parents are increasingly, at their core,suffer from overprotection, and the younger generation is only a minus. Teenagers do not know how to wash their clothes and cannot perform basic actions in the kitchen.
In the camp, the guys realize in a few days that their mother is not around, and begin to take care of themselves on their own. Thus, the responsibility for oneself increases several times for one change of stay in nature.
During this time, teenagers learn to care for and help younger children. In such an atmosphere and conditions, the desire to be in demand comes very quickly. Children clean in and around their tents. They also learn to find a common language in a team with other guys, regardless of the character and habits of each.
Tourism Development
Tent camp is the development of specific skills. The ability to light a fire in any weather or equip a shelter - such classes are held here regularly. Among the older children, duty in the kitchen is established. Girls and boys learn how to peel potatoes and clean dishes.
In their free time, the guys with experienced instructors are engaged in tourist orientation. The curriculum includes:
- ability to use a map and compass;
- overcoming obstacle course;
- first aid.
In the evenings, counselors make a big fire. Near it, all the inhabitants of the camp gather and have fun. Most of all, the guys remember:
- guitar songs;
- collective games;
- skits and contests.
On hot days, the guys swim in the ponds and take sunbaths. Walking tours are offered daily.
Child safety
The summer camp has only trained workers in its state. Counselors are people with pedagogical education. There is a medical worker in the recreation area around the clock.
Around the perimeter of the camp there are bright signs that indicate that there are children here. Beaches specially prepared:
- the beach is sandy and clean;
- bottom removed from snags and glass;
- the area that is allowed for swimming is fenced with buoys.
All adults have 24/7 access to communications. At the right time, an ambulance or other services can be called.
In the canteen, food is checked for suitability several times a day. Products are imported only from institutions that have permission to supply them to children's institutions. Children from 10 to 17 years old are allowed to the camp only if they have a medical permit for this type of recreation.
In addition to teachers, professional athletes and instructors from various tourism organizations work here.
