900 02 7-8 years old is the optimal age for the first trip to the camp. The school teaches you to be independent, so most elementary school students are mentally prepared for a trip for 1-3 weeks.
If in the kindergarten children cry and ask to go home, then at the end of the first grade there are practically no such children left.
Check if the child is ready for the children’s camp at the age of 8:
- The child knows how to take care of himself: washes his hair, brushes his teeth without being reminded, can wash small things.
- Keeps track of his belongings, rarely loses them, knows how to maintain elementary order on the desk and shelves.
- Understands the rules. There are usually no problems with this, since there are settings in the family, school, section. Only very capricious children are not ready to observe discipline.
- Does not shy away from the team. Some children can have a great time alone, but if necessary, adapt to a new company. A rare child truly eschews peers. The craving for loneliness appears much later – in adolescence. Even if the child is shy, experienced leaders help to liberate and join the team.
Summer camp for children aged 8 in Moscow usually operates on the basis of a school.
