The number of places in children's camps in the Polotsk region has been increased this year

Where can parents send a child in the summer so that he is supervised, fed, communicates with peers and spends time usefully? Of course, to the camp!

Various types of children's camps will operate in the Polotsk district in the summer. The number of places in them has been increased this year.

On June 3, day camps were opened in all schools of the district, gymnasiums, RCDiM and CCR&R. In the second shift, such a camp will be organized in PGG No1, in the third - in PGG No2, Secondary School NoNo1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, Farinovskaya Secondary School. The duration of the shift will be 18 days. In school camps in the summer, it is planned to improve the health of 2000 children (+55 to the indicator of 2023).

In four shifts (in 2023 - in three), country camps with a round-the-clock stay will receive children: "Chaika" of the Department of Education, "Cosmos" of JSC "Polotsk-Steklovolokno", in three shifts - "Forest Fairy Tale" of the Department of Sports and Tourism. Traditionally, the work of specialized camps will be organized - "Azimut" (on the basis of the Polotsk RCDiM) and "Patriot" (on the basis of military unit 32404). In 2023, the Patriot camp hosted military unit 5530. In total, 1690 children are planned to improve their health in camps with a round-the-clock stay (+120 compared to 2023).

Sports camps will help pupils of Polotsk sports schools and the Vitebsk Regional ED not to lose good physical shape in the summer.

120 children over 14 years old will work in labor and recreation camps (in 2023 - in 9) in schools NoNo 1, 2, 6, 10, 15, 16, Bogatyrskaya, Vetrinskaya, Goryanskaya, Farinovskaya.

To organize summer employment, children will create teams of different ages at the place of residence in the microdistricts of Novka, Marinenko, the Center of our city, as well as in ag. Millstones. By the way, only on the basis of the Department of Environmental Education of the Polotsk RCDiM (Gagarin, 138) 6 teams of different ages of different profiles will be opened: "Robot-OM", "Smile Designers", "Green Planet", "EcoLife", "Sunny Bunnies" and "Needlewoman".

How the child will rest in the summer, each family decides independently. It is important that the holidays leave a pleasant impression on him. And adults should make the summer vacation useful, and a health camp is perfect for this.

With questions about the placement of children in health camps, we turned to the chief specialist of the education department of the Polotsk District Executive Committee Angela VOLOSEVICH:

– What is the cost of a voucher to the camp?

— Parental surcharge in health camps with a day stay for children on the basis of city schools is from 15 to 44 rubles, depending on the age of the child. In rural schools, as well as schools No11 and No15, meals for children are organized free of charge. The cost of a voucher to the Chaika health camp ranges from 544 to 552 rubles, of which 248 rubles is a state subsidy.

— For what categories of children are there benefits when purchasing vouchers?

– With an additional payment up to the full cost at the expense of the district budget, but not more than once during the year, vouchers to health camps located in the territory of the Polotsk district are provided:

– children from large families, employees of budgetary institutions financed from the district budget;

In recent years, information on the organization of children's health improvement by individual entrepreneurs and non-state organizations (private unitary enterprises, LLCs, farms, religious organizations, agro-ecotourism entities) has been posted on Internet resources. The republic's prosecutor's office revealed numerous violations in such "camps", which entailed, among other things, the trauma of children.

Please note that the law does not provide for the right and procedure for carrying out activities for the health improvement of children within the framework of a health camp by other organizations (except for educational institutions). The readiness for the work of health organizations for children in our district is determined by a special commission created at the Polotsk District Executive Committee. Documents on readiness must be issued no later than 3 days before the opening date for the entire period of the health season.
