10 most beautiful places where you can ride a bike from Berdsk
Cycling season is open! The Witness correspondent talked to experienced Berdsk cyclists and found out where you can go to enjoy the incredible beauty.
The VeloBerdsk VC community has 580 people. Every weekend, a small group of 15-20 activists set out on routes of varying difficulty and length.
– There are easy leisurely walks for 40-50 kilometers, there are long-distance routes, with an overnight stay, for 200-300 kilometers, says one of the organizers of the community Mikhail Titov.
– In our group there are participants of very different ages, from 16 to 60 years old, so everyone chooses a trip according to their abilities and interests. Sometimes we make a transfer by train, and then we ride bicycles. For example, one of the most favorite is the route around the Berdsky Bay. The main meeting is at Gorky Square, then we move along the highway towards Rechkunovka, we pass the village of Svetly, past Morozovo, Talmenka, then through Iskitim, Lebedevka, Agroles and return to Berdsk. The length is about 70 kilometers.
We often go to Akademgorodok through the Botanical Garden, to Koltsovo.
But we also have the so-called “moose” – athletes who like to participate in extreme races, when, for example, you need to drive 200 kilometers in 13.5 hours or even 1200 in 90.
Berdsk photographer Olga Shuldiner-Sivyakova does not part with the iron horse in the summer. She said that she found amazingly picturesque and secluded places near the city, which cannot be reached by car.
– The most favorite places in Berdsk are those where you want to take photos. First of all, the low shores of the Chaika beach, where there are few people even during the swimming season, small forest lakes nearby, which I found quite by accident a couple of years ago.
On one of these lakes there is a pier, and a ladder-bridge leads to it. There you can sit alone or go fishing.
Another favorite place is Khimzavodsky lakes. Around them there are beautiful glades of different colors, fields with rye.
I like cycling because you can get to places where a car cannot go.
I just love the bike: you pedal, and unnecessary thoughts turn off, your mood improves.
I like riding with VeloBerdsk, but I also like to ride all alone, somewhere far away. For me, this is valuable time alone. Last year, for example, I drove more than 100 kilometers through Sosnovka, Burmistrovo, Zavyalovo. When we go in a group, the route is planned in advance, when I go alone, then wherever my eyes look. That’s more interesting.
A typical weekend trip is 60-70 kilometers. Routes to Koltsovo, Iskitimsky marble quarry or Spoon and back fit into this distance.
Where to go?
The main places are marked on our interactive map.
Church of Vladimir the Equal-to-the-Apostles in Burmistrovo.
Chapel in Bystrovka.
Spoon.
Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God at the Pokrovsky Zavyalovsky Monastery.

How the city camp is organized, inspired by the scouts
Still from the film “Kingdom of the Full Moon”, 2012
Long school holidays are praised then they curse: three summer months is not only freedom and the quintessence of a carefree childhood, but also pain for working parents who have to puzzle over where and how to place their child. Aaron Figursky, the founder of the Moscow summer school Moscow Speaks English, talks about the history and advantages of city camps – camps.
History and practice
The idea of organizing leisure activities for school groups outside the home originated in Switzerland a century and a half ago. The first ever children’s camp was created in 1876 in the Alps by pastor Brion. Children lived in nature, learned to build huts, fly kites, sang, played, and communicated.
The experience of the Alpine priest quickly spread throughout the world. In post-war France, the model of such camps – colonies de vacances – became part of the state educational program. In the USSR, pioneer camps were a mass phenomenon, beneficial both from a social and political point of view.

Summer camps – summer camps – from the very beginning gained exceptional popularity in the USA and Canada. According to the actively functioning organization American Camp Association (ACA), in 1900 there were about 100 summer camps in the United States, and in 1918 there were already more than 1000. Today, the association unites 3765 camps, including children’s, teenage, youth, family affiliated with educational, religious, cultural, military organizations, independent, monogender, specialized, suburban and urban. The very existence of a body such as the ACA in the country already says a lot about the popularity of children’s camps in America.

In today’s Russia, most children’s camps combine the culture of Soviet pioneer camps with the traditions of Western summer camps. But there are also carriers of pure concepts, like Moscow Speaks English. Here they chose the model of American scout camps: their culture is instilled by counselors – native speakers who themselves went through this system in childhood.

Camp like in the movies
Camps today are much more than organizing an exciting program for children. The pedagogical goal of the camp is to teach children to communicate in a team, develop leadership qualities, give them new knowledge and skills that will be useful for life in society. However, no one declares such tasks to children, but achieve them with the help of various leisure formats: horror stories with a flashlight, marshmallows on a fire, quests, search for “treasures”, totems and time capsules, elements of uniform, moments of complete freedom (jump in clothes in the pool is about it).
Still from the film “The Lost Camp”, 1994
For many children, the camp becomes the first true experience of independence. In order to provide such an experience to as many children as possible, charity events are held in the United States: “Send a child to camp” or “500 dollars [average price of a weekly camp stay] that will change someone’s life”, and the classic summer camp scheme is some organizational changes. Day camps are one such organizational flexibility.
Day or overnight
Sleepaway Camp is a camp where you spend the whole shift outside the house: you spend the night with other guys in a tent, hut, wigwam or hostel. Day Camp is a camp in which the child spends time from morning to evening, and returns home every night to sleep.

Directly abroad is not always better. Stories about children who spent two weeks at a summer camp in America and brought home only one obscene phrase in English, because there were many more Russian children, unfortunately, are not a myth.
Day camps were originally an attempt to decide where to put the kids on vacation when the parents were working full time. However, over the past decades, the demands of parents have increased greatly, and competition has had a significant impact not only on the diversity, but also on the quality of the services provided. What matters is the professionalism and experience of the staff, safety standards, diet, the uniqueness and value of the program.
As close as possible to the original
The practice of camping has gradually taken root successfully all over the world. Analogues exist in different countries, and thematic content varies from programming to farming. So in some camps you can not only make friends, but also learn a profession or learn a foreign language. At the same time, if camps for studying oriental languages — Arabic, Chinese, Korean — are gaining popularity in the United States, then in our country, preference is given to the classics — camps teaching English.
The Moscow Speaks English Camp is now in its third year and, according to the founders, is much more than a few lessons, lunch and games in English.
Children’s city camp Moscow Speaks English
If we talk about the classic version of the city summer camp according to its Western European or American model, then this is a full-fledged language environment with native speakers who help children learn the language in a natural way. Since the operational language in such a camp will be English, children can learn spoken language in the “habitat”. A bilingual counselor works with each group to help understand the rules of the games and the goals of the classes, choose the right phrases in English for self-expression, and also minimize possible misunderstandings.

Additionally, in such an environment, you can count not only on improving your speaking skills, but also on:
- Self-reliance. There will be no marches in formation and in pairs to the dining room.
