+ Positive
An interesting program. Good educators.
- Negative
Not very convenient accommodation, a city day camp in the area of metro Primorskaya.
• Answer from camp
Good afternoon, Olga Pavlovna. Thanks for your feedback! But it is and always has been, the city camp on the Primorskaya metro station, we have not moved anywhere from here. And where would you like our branch to be?

+ Positive
Great nature and english lessons.
- Negative
Boring activities.
• Answer from camp
Oleg Anatolyevich, thanks for your feedback. The opinion of the child will certainly be taken into account! Other children liked their leisure time, maybe it was just the individuality that played. Thank you, we are waiting for you again) We will try to make your child say "class")
Ekaterina Mihaylovna about «Cool Kids»
(boy 12 years old)
+ Positive
The child is 12 years old. We went for a 3 year shift. All liked it. Food, housing conditions. Teachers. The child was satisfied, and this is the most important thing. Thank.
- Negative
There is no closet in the room.
• Answer from camp
Ekaterina Mikhailovna, thanks for the tip! Super! We’ll decide with the cabinets)) It’s strange that there wasn’t. In general, they stood in all rooms) Until we meet again!)
Ol'ga Dmitrievna about «Cool Kids»
(girl 13 years old)
+ Positive
English language.
English-speaking teacher girl. For the sake of this, we actually went.
Mobile phones are taken.
- Negative
The organization is honest ... far from high level. You begin to feel it already when you bring the child to the bus.
They don’t answer the phone, they didn’t give the bus number, so you’re looking among others.
Everything is mixed up on the territory. Main base Signalman + private houses (the presence of the private sector directly opposite the houses in which the children lived was simply amazed)
Children in one shift of different ages, from 7-14 years. At least, we were so “lucky” in the 4th shift (honest hodgepodge!). Adolescents to fiddle with younger children were not always to their liking.
Monotonous entertainment. Everything is very scarce. The lack of their own infrastructure, weaving baubles on a wooden table is an entertainment almost every day.
The number of staff working with children is minimized. In the second week, children already get bored!
The feeling is that all the forces are thrown to the camp, which is in the South. Director Ivan is not interested in the Leningrad Region process. In hiring a young 17-year-old counselor and a senior counselor Tatyana - who was alone and for everyone. I already felt sorry for her, honestly ...
Living conditions are also very modest. Double-decker creaking beds will remain in the memory of children for a long time, of course.
• Answer from camp
Olga Dmitrievna, thanks for the tip. We will consider your comments;)
English classes are not broken down into children's knowledge levels.
• Answer from camp
Svetlana Viktorovna, thanks for your feedback! We try to break down into levels and groups, test. Next time speak immediately, we will consider all wishes. Thank! Waiting for you again!)
Ekaterina Andreevna about «Cool Kids»
(boy 12 years old
&
boy 9 years old)
+ Positive
Full employment. Hygiene. Nature, communication, English with a native speaker. Children learned new games and books.
- Negative
The children had telephones in their hands: either they called their parents or played. I would give out the phone once every three days for one hour. Modern children do not eat well and not all: it would be nice if the signalman offered a buffet as food. Lack of drug and medical support.
• Answer from camp
Ekaterina Andreevna! Thanks for your feedback! In children, of course, phones are only at a quiet hour. Maybe somehow they still managed))) Pay attention to your wishes! Thank! Waiting for you again!
Irina Aleksandrovna about «Cool Kids.City camp»
(boy 9 years old)
+ Positive
Loved the camp. At first, my child agreed to go there only from the pool. I was very afraid that I would ask for home. As a result, he spent the whole shift. I arrived with a stock of new English words, I am very pleased. Children were treated with attention. There were a lot of interesting events, the children were constantly busy. Photo reports for parents in the evenings warmed the soul.
- Negative
I didn’t notice any flaws. My child asked me to send a request so that the children would be allowed to play on the phone for at least half an hour or an hour a day. This is the only thing that he didn’t have enough, and, if possible, more often the pool, the children love him very much.
• Answer from camp
Irina Alexandrovna, thanks! Very nice to hear such a good review! We look forward to seeing you again!)
Yuliya Viktorovna about «Cool Kids»
(girl 12 years old)
+ Positive
Good afternoon! Loved it! Were on the 2nd and 4th shifts. Tatyana is super! Active counselors! Perfectly organized day! A lot of classes, games. Children are busy, organized, supervised. Great work of the organizers. Thank! This is our first camp and I have absolutely no regrets about my decision and choice. I really liked the place, thanks to the recreation center "Signalman" and of course the maintenance staff.
- Negative
I didn’t see any flaws.
• Answer from camp
Julia Viktorovna, thanks for your feedback! We are happy to try for the kids and their parents. We look forward to seeing you again on our shifts)
Dilyara Nasreddinovna about «Cool Kids na More»
(boy 15 years old)
+ Positive
Good English, good counselors ...
- Negative
Disgusting, unsanitary living conditions, lack of comfort.
• Answer from camp
Dear Parent. Thanks for your feedback. English, leisure and counselors - this is our strength. In the camp itself, everything is also very decent and comfortable. But we will, in any case, draw the attention of the camp workers to your comment.
Svetlana Gennad'evna about «Cool Kids»
(girl 9 years old)
+ Positive
And why did the child get sick, because she washed under a cold shower and walked in sandals in the rain and there was no leisure, if only to jump around the house, and the English man from America teaches, and the child did not remember one word, although he had 5 in school.
- Negative
I fully support Chupakhin Elena, the useless English, the absence of circles of camp fires; this is not a camp;
• Answer from camp
Elena, you were on the 4th shift in the camp and spent the first few days, and then the child fell ill and you left. After 3 months you wanted to write what you didn’t like? And without ever telling the organizers of the camp about this? Strange. But nevertheless, we want to comment. You may not need English, but we also need other children. Circles, lines, fires - this is the last century, the century of the Soviet camps. We have a modern leisure program, which is very popular with children. Please be careful when choosing a camp.
Lack of discipline. Children were often left to their own devices. Scanty program. The child was bored. Dirty in the cottages.
Staff - young guys, there were no adult educators. Not attentive to children. Clothing, given the quality of washing, we can say that it does not wear off. The territory around the cottages is not fenced, the access of strangers and machines is not limited. In the dining room portions of a small size. The child did not eat up.
• Answer from camp
Elena, good afternoon. Let me comment on your feedback. As you and I know, one and the same can have several completely different views. Knowing the feedback of other parents and children, your comments are not systemic. But nonetheless. We try to take every child every minute. Children could be like you write, they were left to themselves only at the time planned for this, and nevertheless they were under the supervision of the leaders. The program is quite diverse, but not every child wants to participate in all activities (individual character and involvement plays a huge role). In cottages can not be always dirty, the cleaning lady is cleaned twice a day. Staff - young counselors and it's not bad, because children are interested with them. Moreover, from the shift to the change the counselors come in completely different ages and they all follow the children and put them to the maximum. Child safety is the main thing for us. Laundry is carried out every week (once a week) in the washing machine. Many camps do not have such amenities. On other shifts, everything was erased well. The territory is fenced with a fence in the camp. No case of penetration into the camp of cars or people was not. There can be different claims to the dining room, but there was always enough for everyone, especially if the child did not eat up, you can always ask for an additive and it will always be given out. In any case, thanks for your comment. This makes it possible to look at things from the other side and more closely monitor them. We are waiting for you again.
Ol'ga Igorevna about «Cool Kids»
(boy 11 years old)
+ Positive
Many thanks to the CROC who persuaded and made an interesting and unforgettable vacation in the camp for my child, who at the beginning of the week asked to go home, but did not want to leave at the end. It was fascinating, in the form of games passed the lessons of English. Many interesting and exciting games in the open air, which is not unimportant for urban children. The food is good. The living conditions are excellent, the cottages are cozy.
- Negative
Very-very disappointed visiting the pool, promised 2 times a week, and in the end for 21 days, the child went 2 times! And of course 1 toilet in the cottage for 8 people!
• Answer from camp
Olga, thank you for your feedback. We can visit the swimming pool every day. But due to the rich program, there is not always time, and sometimes cool weather interferes, because we do not want children after the pool to catch a cold, and often the children themselves refuse the pool. In general, the pool was not in the main priority and was replaced by activities. One toilet. Well, it's better than two toilets - common on the floor for 32-40 children. We have already spent more than 15 shifts in our cottages and we are hearing about the toilet for the first time. Individual case. Thank you. We are waiting again!
Marina Igorevna about «Cool Kids»
(girl 11 years old)
+ Positive
I sent my daughter for 11 years. My daughter was delighted, did not want to leave. Very good accommodation conditions - cottages in a pine forest at the recreation center "Svyazist", classes with English speakers, on the territory of a rope park and a swimming pool. An interesting program from the leaders - every day something new: games, dances, quests. An excellent parents' day, the children put a musical in English.
- Negative
We did not notice any shortcomings.
• Answer from camp
Marina, thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased. We will try and continue. Come to us again. Waiting for you!
Natal'ya about «Cool Kids na More»
(boy 9 years old)
+ Positive
Excellent counselors, an interesting program. The children were engaged in language with pleasure. In general, the children liked it. Every day the sea, the beach is good, clean. Fruits are given regularly, especially the child praised peaches and plums.
- Negative
Meals are not very (according to the reviews of children). Accommodation for 3 - 5 people. Five people in the room a bit crowded. Instead of the promised coupe, the children were traveling in a reserved seat.
• Answer from camp
Natalia, thank you for your feedback. Very nice. In the rooms there were 5 beds, although we have accommodation for 4 people. Some of the children just expressed a desire to live with five children. The children rode in a reserved seat as it was stated, tk. payment of tickets by parents was for a reserved seat. On some shifts RZD was given a coupe at the price of a reserved seat. This is the difference.
Lyubov' Aleksandrovna about «Cool Kids na More»
(girl 9 years old)
+ Positive
Children are alive and well.
- Negative
Unskilled accompanying personnel. There is no discipline. Poor notification of the date, time of arrival of children.
• Answer from camp
Lyubov Alexandrovna, thank you for your feedback. Your comments to our happiness do not apply to the program itself and the camp. We hope that everything else you and your child liked in general. Accompanying - these are our counselors and teachers, maybe someone of them was traveling for the first time, but we know for sure that everything that is required of them, they perform clearly and in all matters try and go from the wishes of parents and children as much as possible. In occasion of notifications, let me remind you that all this information is posted:
1. In the memo on the official website and in the group in vkontakte, which is always available.
2. We hold an online parent meeting in which we talk about it and remind it.
3. We make an SMS about the departures / arrivals.
4. We make posts in our group in vkontakte for a few days.
In any case, thanks for writing. We hope that you will come again. Until next time.
