Every day, the children are waiting for classes in music and choreography, acting and speech technique. The camp will not do without sports and walks along the shady alleys of the garden. nine0009

UPDATE FROM | FIRST PUBLISHED 3 comments For the first three days, my son called and told how difficult it was for them – heavy backpacks, hot, mosquitoes. Some of his comrades cried when they called their parents. I was sure that he would not go to any Karelia again. I won’t let him, and he won’t want to.
Wrong on both counts. In the first 15 minutes after the meeting, Igor announced his life plan: this summer, to go to the camp again, to go not on foot, but on a water trip – on catamarans along the rivers. Next summer – again for two shifts and two more steps. The plan ended with the fact that he would raft to the White Sea, and then he himself would work as an instructor in this camp.
How do you manage to find this fine line, so to balance the load in order to load the children, but not to break, but to inspire them? This is what Matvey Shparo told me →

UPDATE FROM | FIRST PUBLISHED 103 comments A “hungry” summer in a kids club is one of the biggest stresses and fears for children’s centers. How to pay rent? How not to lose teachers? How not to fly into the pipe? How not to go crazy walking into an empty club?
A summer camp can raise the financial performance and mood of the head of the children’s center. This year, there is reason to believe that summer programs will be more successful than ever – a large part of the population has cut their budget for vacation trips due to the crisis, and the child also needs something to do in the city.

This year, there is reason to believe that summer programs will be more successful than ever – a large part of the population has cut their budget for vacation trips due to the crisis, and the child also needs something to do in the city. Life hacks for a successful camp →
UPDATE FROM | FIRST POSTED 37 comments I have a meeting every morning at 6:15 for the last week. With my children. We plan for the day. First, we write down their wishes-entertainment on paper (go to Subway, draw on a computer, play on a tablet), then useful things for ourselves (read Ten Years Later, assemble a Lego car), then useful things for others (bake cookies for granny, unload… Read more

UPDATE FROM | FIRST POSTED 25 commentsLast time I wrote about our summer camp programs.
Many colleagues were interested in the course “Science Laboratory”, which is part of the thematic program “Da Vinci”. At their request, I publish the description and topics of the abstracts. Each abstract is devoted to a topic – for example, the properties of air, water, salt, citric acid, paper. The course is based on interesting, simple and safe… Read more

UPDATE FROM | FIRST PUBLISHED 35 commentsWhat to do with the summer failure in the children’s center?
On the one hand, since mid-April, we have been feeling the “suitcase” mood of many clients: someone leaves for the country, someone goes to the sea for the May holidays, and then is not going to return (what’s the point of returning for two weeks?).
The groups are emptying fast.
On the other hand, every summer we are faced with the fact that there is nowhere to put our own, dear children!
Some kindergartens already close their groups in June or combine several groups into one (and the child does not want to go to the kindergarten with someone else’s teacher and unfamiliar children). First graders are on vacation. And in general, after all, not one hundred percent of children leave on June 1 until August 31. As a rule, they spend several intervals (especially in June) in their city and harass with their dreary “Mom, I’m bored!”.
If not all children leave, then why are many children’s centers empty? nine0083 Continue reading →

UPDATE FROM | FIRST PUBLISHED 25 commentsFor the fact that this Bulgarian town is, in my opinion, an ideal place to relax with children. A short flight from Moscow, a ten-minute drive from Burgas airport, the most delicate sand on the beach (children can build fortresses and dig canals for hours), shallow and warm sea, tasty and cheap food, attractions for children.
