“Our son visited this wonderful camp first time in 2005.
He liked everything, especially the people, and we were lucky to meet many interesting people in the course of two months. The entire family is waiting for next summer, 2008!
The film about the life of our children in the camp, which imprinted the most interesting
moments from camp, is the very creative idea by the organizers of the camp. Our child was amazed by
the professional educators, the director of the camp, who approached the matter
creatively and with a great deal of love for the children. Games, competitions, theatrical ideas- with all of this our child was treated very well.”

Son Slava, 14 years old
Mom Yevdokia: “our son went to other camps where the experience was not too pleasant. For example:
1. A strange grandfather that was the educator for 2-3 children at a time
2. Man who took 5-6 children for the whole summer
3. Camp "leader" as the professional instructor.
I think summer camp “Leader” was the best because:
1) There was interaction. This made it possible for my son to associate with the children of different ages.
2) There were different activities ("Neptune" Day, search for "treasures" and others) which my son participated in. Moreover, the main thing was that no one forced them to participate in shows, everything was done at will. If the child does not want to participate - he can be spectator. It is their choice.
3) Respect, confidence, friendship between the children and the educators.
“In my view this was the most important condition for an outstanding leisure”

Son Oleg, 12 years old
Mom Olga: “for the first time this past summer, we risked sending our VERY domestic boy to camp. It was not a mistake! Everything was great - nature, family structure, domestic food (especially the cutlet of the grandmother of faith!), morning running, and concerts on Saturdays. We called our son every day in the morning and in the evening and we felt that our son is growing up! Carried out time in the summer camp among such reliable wise and creative people - was happy time.”
Son Oleg: “One of the best things about this camp is that you learn to deal with and to become friends with other kids. It may be hard first but it is a challenge well won and can help later on in life. This camp offered me chances to prove myself, such as competitions to earn respect among others. This camp holds shows produced by.... us: kids. I got a chance to act twice. I got a very funny part once using a couple of magic tricks (not make-up, I got transformed into half a boy and half a girl). This camp also gave me a chance to run around, with fresh air instead of being trapped inside the house. There were many activities such as swimming, playing soccer, running in the morning, drawing etc.”
