Many parents from St. Petersburg tend to send their child somewhere closer to the sea, hoping that the child will improve their health there.But in the Leningrad region there are quite a few camps, where rest at any time of the year can bring no less benefit. All organizations are located in forests near lakes, some of the DOLs not only entertain children, but also help them learn something new. Another plus of the camps near the northern capital of Russia is the opportunity to come and visit your child.

And sometimes you have to take the child for good. Often this is due to psychological unpreparedness: usually boys and girls of 6-8 years old can hardly endure a long vacation without parents. Preschoolers and elementary school students should be sent to the camp only with a special program for the smallest. Otherwise, the child will receive a portion of severe stress instead of positive emotions.
