On the first day of school, a test takes place, according to which the children are distributed according to the study groups. A transition to another group is possible if the participant in the program is too easy or difficult for his teacher. Classes are conducted by experienced British teachers with the highest qualification of teaching English as a foreign language. The morning program is supplemented by evening discussion clubs in English. At the end of the course each participant is given an official British certificate confirming the level of English proficiency.

Additional courses.

At the end of the course the participants put the final dance show on stage for the whole camp. For children who are fond of dancing, or just wanting to develop dance skills, this is a great opportunity not only to undergo a course under the guidance of British choreographers, but also to make friends with like-minded people from other countries, to put several dances in an international children's collective!
Drama . Acting with a professional children's director. For children who are interested in theater, this is an excellent chance to not only master the skills of acting (mimicry, stage speech, improvisation), but also to take part in staging the performance in English, which ends the course. This course is also very useful in terms of the development of spoken English speech and the setting of a classic British accent.

Большое спасибо за Ваш отзыв о лагере! Будем снова ждать Вас в лагерях Junior Camp! Кстати, водоем есть в нашем втором лагере в Ленинградской области, на территории отеля "Золотая Долина" (но купание, конечно же, если погода позволяет).

Большое спасибо за Ваш отзыв о лагере! Над фотографиями обещаем поработать - не всегда вожатые успевают снимать ребят в течение дня. Будем снова ждать Вас в лагерях Junior Camp!

Добрый день!
Благодарим за обратную связь и за уделенное время для обсуждения проблемных моментов по телефону.
По нашему опыту можем отметить, что отношение к телефонам в лагере у родителей бывает максимально противоположным. Иногда наличие/отсутствие телефонов даже является основным критерием при выборе лагеря: кому-то принципиально важно, чтобы ребенок всегда был в доступе, а кому-то наоборот, особенно, когда у ребенка отмечается так называемая «зависимость» от гаджетов.
В нашем лагере нет практики забирать телефон у детей во время смены, однако вожатые могут прибегнуть к этой мере, если наличие телефонов мешает проведению программы – перед заездом мы отвечали на этот вопрос.
В случае с Александром после того, как Вы связались с нами, мы забрали телефон на день, а после этого стали забирать во время основных мероприятий у всего младшего отряда, так как конкретно на этой смене это было обоснованно - дети действительно много отвлекались на телефон.
Территория ДОЛ «Золотая Долина» предполагает размещение коттеджного типа, поэтому все дети размещаются в домиках. В течение дня дети заняты на мероприятиях, в командной и групповой работе, поэтому часто что-то готовят командами в своих коттеджах. При этом у вожатых есть доступ ко всем коттеджам в любой момент; вожатые постоянно проверяют домики, в том числе обходят территорию после отбоя и в ночное время.
Супницы у деток стоят на столах, и они наливают себе суп самостоятельно, но мы обязательно ещё раз проговорим с командой, что на это нужно неоднократно обращать внимание детей.
Касательно английского: как мы с Вами обсудили, возможно, Александр воспринимал английский как что-то простое, потому что занятия были в игровой форме, а не в привычном формате уроков.
Сожалеем, что ситуация с телефонами стала основной проблемой, из-за которой испортилось общее впечатление о лагере. Если в дальнейшем Александр поедет на смену, мы будем уделять этому вопросу больше внимания.
