“Both my kids love it here.
Camp counselors are amazing and they are learning so much and having fun at the same time”.
“Miss Christy was an amazing director. After being homesick one day she understood my child’s needs and made her feel comfortable and not ashamed. This enabled her to make it all day the rest of the week! Thank you for being flexible and taking care of my child!”
“My camper was very nervous and crying because he didn’t want to go to camp the first day. By the second day he was looking forward to camp and by the end of the week was disappointed it was over. My camper talked daily of the birds, outdoor and indoor activities, teacher, and peers with excitement. This was the positive experience I was hoping he would have to help get him comfortable with new people and ready for school next year. The teachers of this program did a wonderful job!”
“My child loved each day of this camp! Thank you for creating such fun and unique learning experiences each day.
“
“My children both had a great time at fishing camp. The counselors were exceptional. My oldest is 14 and I realize this is going to be one of his last camp experiences likely. I was so delighted to get a text with a photo of him holding the fish he caught. It meant a lot to him and it’s something that he will remember for a long time.”
“Awesome communication with the parents to let us know what was going on with the changes due to weather”
“My son was very nervous to start a new camp (he has been in a day care camp all his life) and isn’t one to transition easy to new things. He was in love with it on the first day. His words…”IT WAS AWESOME!” He actually cried the last day”

pwcparks.orgHow to get a free ticket to a children’s camp? How can you send your child to a summer camp for free in 2023: Russia: Travel: Lenta.ru
Lenta.ru: children can get a free ticket to a summer camp for special achievements
the longest holidays are coming, and you can go to rest in the summer camp. Many parents are wondering how to get a free ticket to children’s health camps. Today there are many organizations for recreation and recreation of children that can help families with summer vacations. Lenta.ru found out who can apply for a free ticket to children’s health camps, how to apply for this ticket and where to go to get it.
What are free trips to children’s camps from the state?
Regulations on the topic of rest and recreation for children are contained in Law No. 124-FZ. According to the document, some categories of children can count on a free ticket to a children’s camp.
According to the expert of the Aktion Education publishing group Tatyana Papova, each subject of the Russian Federation is allocated a limited number of free trips to children’s camps.
Regions distribute free vouchers for children among social security agencies, educational and medical institutions. Therefore, parents have the opportunity to receive free vouchers for children from various sources
Tatyana Papova, Aktion Education expert
Both beneficiaries, including children left without parental care, and every talented child aged 11-17 can count on getting a free ticket to a health camp. As Igor Zhuravlev, director of the All-Russian Children’s Center Smena, explained in an interview with Lenta.ru, free vouchers for recreation are allocated for the child’s achievements in education, creativity, sports or social activities. A talented child can get a free ticket on a competitive basis to one of the federal children’s centers.
Where a child can get a ticket for success in creativity:
- Orlyonok Children’s Center near Tuapse;
- children’s center “Artek” near Yalta;
- children’s center “Change” in the urban district of Anapa;
- children’s center “Ocean” in Vladivostok.
You can get free vouchers there both at the expense of the federal budget and the regional quota. Regulations on competitions are published on the official websites of children’s centers

Who can get free tickets to children’s health camps?
Orphans and children left without parental care
Beneficiaries occupy the first place among those who can get a free ticket to organize children’s recreation. These are orphans and minors left without parental care – vouchers to recreation organizations are issued for children aged 7-17 years.
Children with disabilities
In addition, children with disabilities or those with a disability group, as well as those brought up in families where one or both parents have a disability, can count on getting vouchers to children’s health camps. This benefit in terms of obtaining free tickets to children’s camps applies to children aged 7-15 years.
Children from low-income families
Children 7-17 years old from low-income families are also entitled to free trips to recreation organizations if the income per person does not reach the subsistence level, and to a number of other preferential categories.
As for talented children, they receive vouchers to federal children’s centers on a competitive basis
How to apply for a free voucher to a children’s camp in 2023?
The procedure for applying for free vouchers to children’s camps is different for beneficiaries and talented children. According to Tatyana Papova, in order to receive a free ticket to a health camp, the parents of a benefit child or other legal representatives must contact the social security department at the place of registration or the MFC.
An application for a voucher to a health camp can be submitted in person, through the “Gosuslugi”, by mail or e-mail. A package of documents is attached to the application – the list may vary depending on the region.
As a rule, it includes an identity card of one of the parents, guardians or other legal representatives of the child – for example, if children left without parental care receive vouchers to a health camp
Tatyana Papova, Aktion Education expert
In addition, to apply for a free trip, you will need a child’s birth certificate or passport if the student is over 14 years old. Also, in order to receive free vouchers to children’s camps, documents confirming belonging to a preferential category are required.

Documents to confirm belonging to a privileged category:
- certificate of disability;
- certificate of orphan status, if children left without parental care apply for free trips to children’s camps;
- certificate of family composition;
- income statement for each family member;
- a number of other documents.
The decision on whether to provide a free ticket to a summer camp is made by the social security authorities within 10 working days from the date of application.
After the application for a free trip to a children’s recreation organization is registered, the child will be put on the waiting list by sending a notification
Tatiana PapovaExpert “Aktion Education”
What are the features of obtaining free tickets to children’s camps in the regions?
Local authorities have the right to establish additional requirements for issuing free vouchers to children’s camps for beneficiaries. Therefore, it is best to clarify in advance with a particular department how to apply for a free ticket to the organization of recreation and recreation for children.
In addition, if parents are thinking about how to get a free ticket to a summer camp, they should take into account that local authorities have the right to expand the proposed list of beneficiaries by issuing relevant regulations.
Russian regions have the right to establish additional requirements for issuing free tickets to children’s camps for beneficiaries, as well as expand the list of categories of citizens with special rights
In particular, there are regions where members of large families can also receive a free ticket to a children’s camp.
In addition, in some regions of the Russian Federation, camps organize additional programs for free children’s recreation. Information on how to get a free ticket to a children’s camp for a regional quota can be found on the websites of local administrations.

How to apply for a free ticket to the federal children’s center?
As for getting free tickets for talented children, Igor Zhuravlev advises first of all to go to the official website of one of the federal children’s centers, get acquainted with the list of educational programs and read the regulations on competitive selection.
The regulation explains who can get a free ticket to the organization of recreation and health improvement of children, the deadlines for submitting documents, who will be on the jury of the competition and when the results will be announced
Igor ZhuravlevDirector of the All-Russian Children’s Center “Smena”
To receive a free ticket to one of the federal organizations for children’s recreation and health improvement, you will need a separate package of documents.
Documents for obtaining a ticket to the federal children’s recreation organization:
- copy of the child’s identity document;
- application of the parent or legal representative of the child;
- characteristics, certified by the signature of the director and the seal of the educational institution;
- a number of other documents.
How can I get a ticket to a children’s camp for free with the help of charitable foundations and non-profit organizations (NPOs)?
Children who find themselves in a difficult life situation can also get a free ticket to a children’s camp with the help of charitable foundations and NGOs. Each such center independently determines the categories of those in need and invites them free of charge to their organizations for the recreation and rehabilitation of children.
For example, deaf-blind children can get a free ticket to a summer camp from the Soyedinenie Foundation, and the public organization Kovcheg organizes summer family inclusive recreation and health camps for children with developmental disabilities – autism, cerebral palsy and other diseases
Tatyana Papovaexpert “Action Education”
To get a free ticket to the summer camp, parents need to contact the funds that organize the trips directly and ask them for a list of required documents.

In conclusion, the lawyer of the European Legal Service (EJS), Ekaterina Tuslyakova, reminded that in most subjects of the Russian Federation, parents are paid monetary compensation for self-purchased vouchers for rest and recreation of children. Information on the possibility of obtaining such compensation can be found by contacting the authorized state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as on the State Services website.

CAMP REVIEWS ROBIN GOOD
REVIEWS IN SOCIAL NETWORKS ABOUT THE SUMMER CAMP
Children were in creative Carolina, in August 2021, girls 11 years old. Went for the first time, worried. When before sending I saw that there were a lot of buses and each one was checked by traffic police officers, it already became easier – everything was serious. We met immediately with the leaders – they themselves went to this camp as children! In general, the children are delighted, the lack of gadgets did not even upset them much, since they were busy all the time. They asked to bring a watch to navigate in time and days :))) They fed very well! We will definitely come again! Thanks to everyone who created and works in this wonderful camp!!!
This is the best camp for children in my opinion. And we have four of them and all with great pleasure ask to come to this camp at any time of the year.
A beautiful area with its own lake, pine forest, competent and well-coordinated team. Children don’t even have time to talk to their parents on the phone, because it’s fun, interesting, entertaining. Thank you very much and low bow to the organizers and owners.
Gorgeous camp! Children have a rest not for the first time, they called friends with them, who were also completely delighted! It is very convenient to track their activity on Instagram. They post photos and videos during the shift there. Children call their parents every other day, tell how things are going. But they really have no time to tell us everything, because they are waiting there, and we distract with our conversations 🤣 I recommend!
Great camp. The child really liked everything: organization, food, living conditions. They fed 5 times a day, plus in the evening they give a milkshake with a cookie. The whole day in the camp is busy with master classes according to the program and other activities. The fact that you can not take your phone with you is a big plus.
By the way, a camera is possible. We went on the Gourmania program. He also wants to go next summer.
Hello! For 7 years, my daughter has been going to the camp. And it even happens that you can visit several shifts during the season! Both winter and summer! Robin Hood is the best! Children are constantly engaged in programs. Even the most inactive and eternally bored children are always busy and involved in the camp process! Live! Develop! We are very glad that you are.
Guys!!! Very cool) sent the youngest, 11 years old to a man, were in different camps, he didn’t like everything, basically one comment, boring! I want to go home, etc. We arrived at Robin Hood … Everything, for a small other camp now does not exist))) In the season of 22, we will not even look, Robin Hood rules))
“Robin Hood” is located in the southern direction on the border of the Moscow and Kaluga regions, 100 km from the Moscow Ring Road along the Simferopol highway (M2), in an ecologically clean area on the lake in the territory of the unique reserve of the TARUSA group of companies.
