Living conditions are quite modest: toilets and showers are located in separate buildings, the buildings themselves, children's and sports grounds are old but renovated. There is no website with prices and availability, all relevant information is posted on the social network page, often with a delay. Administration offers to ask questions by phone.

9 Neo Camp

Distracting a teenager, taking him out of the virtual world into the real one and inspiring him to actively participate in it is a task that other parents struggle with all year.But as soon as they bring their offspring to Neo Camp, it becomes unrecognizable. And all because the camp program was developed by experienced methodologists, taking into account the characteristics of adolescence and includes many creative, sports and recreational activities.

One of the key rules of the institution is the isolation of children from mobile phones. For communication, the administration suggests using the camp phone and writing to e-mail. This approach is explained by the fact that children need to be given a break from modern technology completely and not be distracted by untimely calls. Children's safety is thought out comprehensively here: the territory is patrolled around the clock by private security companies, medical monitoring is carried out, video surveillance cameras and fire alarms are installed.

8 Oxygen

Not every teenager can withstand a busy schedule at the Oxygen camp. Its programs are aimed at very active children who do not care about daily team activities: dancing, slackline, football, roller skating, etc. Only in the quiet hour in the afternoon and in the evening they watch movies and play board games, the rest of the time is taken run and play. Particular emphasis in the program is placed on team building - the guys learn to interact, take a proactive place in the team, motivate and self-motivate. All this will be useful to them in the future - in a new class, in a new university, in a new job.

The price of participation in the season lasting 14 days is 49,800 rubles. Everything is included in the price - from bus travel and insurance to accommodation in 3- and 4-bed rooms and a branded T-shirt.Such an all inclusive system in children's camps is rare, often the most interesting and useful activities need to be paid extra.

7 enjoy camp. Inventor Incubator

Isn't this the best confirmation that the camp is really good?

6 Planet of the English

The camp claims to be a planetary scale not unfounded: for more than 15 years it has been the official representative of the British Schools network in Russia and managed to spend 12 international seasons in England. Its main highlight is the intensive study (72 hours per shift, 5 hours a day) of English along with native speakers. Outside of classes, an English-speaking environment is maintained, which provides the effect of learning a language abroad.

Each child chooses one direction and does it for the whole shift, and shows his achievements at all-camp events - shows, concerts, performances. The most important event is the graduation gala concert, where star guests and, of course, parents are invited.
