The international camp "Be-La-Rus" gathered youth from three countries for the 20th time in the Verkhnedvinsk district

 July 29, Vitebsk /BELTA/. About 600 activists of the youth movement from Belarus, Russia and Latvia are taking part in the international camp "Be-La-Rus", which opened on July 28 at the Mound of Friendship in Verkhnedvinsk district of Vitebsk region. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by the regional committee of the BRSM. The anniversary XX gathering of youth from Belarus, Latvia and Russia is dedicated to the Year of Russian Cosmonautics, the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight and the 20th anniversary of the Russian Youth Union. These events have left their mark on the organization of the camp's life. The field camp has turned into a "star town", the area near the main stage has become a "cosmodrome", and the football field - a "docking bay". The central clearing is designated as the "International Space Station", and the head of "Be-La-Rus" acts as the "ISS commander". For three days, young people will compete in various creative contests and sports competitions: "crews" will determine the strongest in football, volleyball, strongman contest, arm wrestling, sack fights. Traditionally, a photo cross, a DJ battle, the "Be-La-Russian dawns" contest will be held, and the best couple of the camp will be chosen. Participants will be able to prove themselves in the classic team-building training "Ropes course", and the plot-based role-playing quest "Our Space". The most athletic and talented "cosmonauts" will be entered into the "Camp Records Book-2011". The camp will conclude on July 31. The event is organized by the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, the Latvian Youth Union for Progress and the Russian Youth Union. The meeting of activists of youth organizations is designed to foster the formation of an active life position, civic and leadership qualities among youth, and to strengthen the interaction of youth organizations.-0-
