I come to the Ural Dawns camp every year. For the 3rd time I got to change “Next Level” (January 2021). I really like to dance, but I’m not good at it and I’m embarrassed to go to dance clubs in the city. But when I come to the Ural Dawns, my skills improve every year thanks to choreographers and Ilya Kozhanov, I find true friends here and support from teachers and counselors. Sometimes I am sad to leave this camp, but I know for sure that I will come here again.

I really liked the new program “Accelerator of Leaders” at the Uralskiye Dawns (January 2-8, 2021). It was interesting, I learned a lot and in general I was very comfortable in the classroom. It was not like standard lessons, there were no lessons familiar to us. We talked with teachers from Chelyabinsk State University and thanks to an informal approach, we learned much more than if it were in a standard form. I really liked the prizes. It was unexpected to win a gaming computer mouse. and happy for all the winners! Excellent living conditions – comfortable, warm and very convenient! I will definitely come to the Ural Dawns for a specialized leadership program.

The game “RACE OF HEROES” in the pre-school “Ural Dawns” for the most active and friendly classes!
Friendly teams of MSML and MOU secondary school No. 65 had a wonderful time at the Ural Dawns preschool educational center in the weekend tour program on October 17, 2020.
For the guys there was a fast and exciting “Race of Heroes”. It included a quest, and team building, and a rope track, and the search for a secret dispatch, and the game “Capture the Banner”. At the end, each hero winner received a sweet prize. Additionally, as an order – beautiful weather, watching a movie, a disco and an evening fire!Tatyana Grigorieva, Deputy Director for VR MGML
