More than 80 work and recreation camps will be organized in the Vitebsk region

Special attention will be paid to the organization of children's health improvement, including the creation of safe living conditions, leisure activities, healthy and balanced nutrition, and, of course, taking into account the current epidemiological situation, control over compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements will be strengthened.

From June 1, school-based day camps will open their doors for those who wish, and from June 15, stationary health and sports and health camps will begin their work. Currently, the occupancy of shifts is being monitored.

However, it is already clear that the region is ready to provide opportunities for children's health improvement to everyone who wishes.

A decision of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee "On the organization of health improvement and employment of children in health and sports and health camps during the summer period of 2020" has been adopted.

The planned enrollment figures for school-based day camps are over 25,000 schoolchildren, and for boarding camps – 18,000.

In addition, one of the important components of the summer health campaign remains the labor employment of teenagers.

For this purpose, it is planned to organize more than 80 labor and recreation camps in the region. About 1400 students will be able to improve their health, work, and earn money here if they wish.

Schoolchildren will be involved in landscaping, repair work, agricultural work, caring for forest plantations, berry picking, sewing stage costumes, and bed linen. Thus, children will supplement their family budget, bring benefits, but at the same time will not be deprived of opportunities for an unforgettable summer vacation.

In 2020, it is planned to allocate about 100 thousand rubles of state funds for the preparation of stationary camps for work. This assistance will be received by 29 camps.
