Natalia Loseva, strategic director of the State Institution of Tourism "Mosgortur", one of the largest organizers of children's recreation in Russia.

In most countries, camping for children is a tent, food from pots and tin cups, self-service. And comfort lies in the fact that the child is not afraid of meeting a snake or behaves correctly during a tornado.

We have the opposite. For Russian parents, infrastructure comes first. How many children are in the room, where is the toilet, is there hot water? Then they ask about food, safety, and only at the very end are they interested in the program.

This is understandable: our dysfunctional past makes parents think: if I send a child somewhere, especially for money, it means that he should be better off there than with me. Perhaps the main indicator of being in Soviet pioneer camps was weight gain.

We pay attention to the infrastructure, because this is the order of the parents. We have a strict standard and comfortable conditions, but this is the basis. The main thing we work with is, of course, the program and training of counselors.

Who is who

The main task of counselors is to understand from the first day who got into the squad. Here's the leader kid, here's the insecure kid creative person, introvert, hyperactive ... Or a child with traces of domestic violence, this also happens. The first three days are team building, taking into account the primary psychological diagnostics. Counselors keep special diaries, where there are records for each of the children. At night meetings, these notes are discussed.

Children are all different, and the task of the counselor is not to resolve the conflict, but not to allow conflict in the detachment. We understand the main fears of parents: a child can be offended, corrupted, taught to smoke, drink, and so on. But in a good camp, this is impossible! The system is built in such a way that the child is always in the field of view of the counselor.

Crisis of the third day

There is even such a concept, the crisis of the third day: when a child suddenly realizes that he is not at home, not with his parents, that this is apparently for a long time (the shift lasts 21 days) and everything around is alien. The task of the counselor is to guide the children through this crisis.

Usually after it, the children are immersed in camp life. We understand that there are those who need full employment, these are the main consumers of circles, and there are children who want to be alone. Therefore, we provide rooms for classes, where the child can spend time alone, but under the supervision of a counselor.

The main sign that the child is resting is that he has handed over the phone and does not call his parents. And so that parents do not worry, we keep online diaries in social networks– parents can watch what is happening in the camp, see their children.

There are no losers

We try to make the program of the day correct from the point of view of psychology and physiology: so that the children do not get exhausted, but every day turns into an event. We have no losers. Everyone will bring certificates, medals, memorable prizes. This is very motivating for children. And parents appreciate it.

• This year we have a program "Soccer World Cup". Everything will be there like in a real championship: football players, cheerleaders, show groups, security, organizing committee, media, and so on. Bright opening and closing, competitions, many quests are provided.
• or program "World of Professions". It is made so that the word “career guidance” does not make children sick. The program is built in the form business game. The camp is a city, the detachment is a district. The city and region have different organizations, its own currency, positions, superiors and subordinates, work books. The leader of the day is chosen: for one day the child will become the main, responsible, and everyone will play this role.
• AT "Media camp" we do not have detachments, but editorial offices. There, children learn media specialties (editors, designers, journalists), and career. Usually there are several bright children in the team, so we have different leadership roles, permanent and variable. But even if the child is not prone to leadership, there is a suitable position for him. Last year we had a difficult boy - he constantly provoked other children. So the senior counselor made him her official assistant, and ambitions were directed in the right direction.

Different but equal

We organize inclusive shifts. This is a difficult, step by step, movement towards each other, because so far everyone is not ready for inclusion: neither the camps, nor the parents of ordinary children, nor the parents of children with special needs, because the child needs to be prepared for the camp. When we work with children with Down syndrome, we adapt them: we bring them on a sightseeing day, they look around, then they leave, there is time to prepare mentally.

We understand that inclusion in modern conditions- this is when no more than 10% of special children are integrated into detachments with specially trained counselors. In order for inclusion to be complete, such children must be in the squads on an equal footing with the rest. But parents are not always ready for such a situation. Generations must change for attitudes to change. But inside the camp, as a rule, there are no problems.

The main "point of return"

Our task is to expand the horizons, to show the child the facets of himself, which he does not know. Especially when we work with children in privileged categories, who are often deprived of any opportunities by default. Such children often do not believe in themselves. And then you begin to show the child: “You can dance, sing, arrange chemical experiments and you're the best at putting up a tent. And what a voice! And I don’t care what jeans you are in, how much your sneakers and mobile phone cost!”

In 21 days, we will not teach a child physics or chemistry, but during this time the child can understand that physics and chemistry are so cool! And our main "point of return" is here.

With "coworkers" and love for their leaders is often born on evening candles.

What is an evening candle

Rules for holding a spark

A candle in the camp is held according to certain rules, the observance of which will ensure the solution of all tasks. These rules are as follows:

• the counselor must prepare the children for the upcoming candle;
• all participants are located at the same level and at the same distance from the candle or the object that replaces it;
• you can not interrupt the speaker;
• discussion of a specific person is not allowed, only bad deeds are condemned;
• you can not eat and drink during the fire;
• conversations should be conducted calmly, raised tones should be avoided;
• crossing the center of the circle is strictly prohibited;
• everything said should remain between the participants of the candle;
• candle collection should always be informal, without coercion;
• the theme of the event should be relevant to its participants.

These are just the basic laws of holding candles in the camp. Each unit can follow its own traditions.

Organizing period candles

According to the temporal development of the change, the candles are divided into the lights of the organizational period, the main and the final.

The purpose of the candles of the organizational period is to get to know, adapt and encourage the guys to communicate and joint activities.

What to say on a candle in the camp? The counselor must carefully prepare for the first light. He should tell about the history of the camp, describe the area in which it is located, introduce children to local legends. The story should not be too overloaded with various information, it should be "diluted" with funny jokes, stories, personal memories.

Lights aimed at getting to know each other can take place in the following formats:

• Relay story. An item is passed around in a circle (you can come up with a squad symbol and pass it on). Everyone in whose hands he ended up talks about himself.
• Revelation envelope. The facilitator prepares an envelope with unusual questions. Each participant in the candle draws a question and answers it.
• Box with your favorite things. Each member of the squad does not talk about himself, but about his favorite toy, talisman or object that characterizes him. You can demonstrate this thing on a spark.
• Horoscope. All participants in the spark are divided into groups - signs of the zodiac. The counselor presents the characteristics of each of the presented signs and invites each group to make its "portrait" from the facts about each of its participants, confirming the veracity of the horoscope.
• A memorable day. Each child tells about the brightest day of his life.

The lights of the organizational period may be characterized by low activity and tightness of children. The counselor should make every effort to make the environment friendly and relaxed, encouraging children to have a frank and emotional conversation.

Lights of the main period

In the midst of the shift, the main purpose of the lights is to analyze and evaluate the joint activities of the squad and each of its members.

Topics for candles in the camp in the middle of the shift depend on the tasks that the counselor sets for himself.

To smooth out conflicts in the process of holding a spark, themes can be as follows:

• Letter to a friend. Participants write a "letter" to relatives or close people in which they share their experiences. Then all the guys read their messages.
• I want to understand. This light allows for the possibility of an unsystematic arrangement of participants. Each child can approach another and ask a question beginning with "I want to understand....".
• Conversation with a fellow traveler. Each participant in the flame tells the "fellow traveler" about camp events.
• Circle of silence. All participants are located with their backs to the center of the circle. Only the speaker turns around. Gradually, all the guys speak out, being drawn into the discussion of the problematic issue.

Thematic candles in the camp can be held during the shift, depending on the events and logic.

Examples of themed lights can be:

• a light about friendship and love;
• a candle dedicated to a memorable date;
• song candle;
• a light on environmental topics, etc.

You can complement the flame with songs with a guitar, suitable in meaning to its theme.

Lights of the final period

The task of the lights of the final period is to sum up the results of the shift. Each child must analyze their own changes during their stay in the camp and see and appreciate the changes in others.

The format of the lights can be like this:

• Chain. The first participant says a few phrases reflecting his impression of the change, his neighbor continues the conversation and passes the word along the chain further.
• The role of the squad. Each of the guys aloud thinks in turn over the question "What did the detachment become for me during the shift?".
• stories about each other. The guys take turns expressing their opinions and impressions from communicating with one of the members of the detachment. Thus, everyone gets a collective opinion about himself.

Each of the candles in the camp should be held mentally and accompanied joint action, for example, end with a detachment song or joint extinguishing of a candle. Each of the participants should feel like a full-fledged member of the team, whose opinion is valued and respected.
