The 2023 summer health campaign has started in the Vitebsk region
Children's chatter, the tart scent of pine needles, and bright sunshine – everything immediately immerses visitors in the pleasant atmosphere of a country retreat, where the "Druzhnye Rebyata" health resort camp is located in a picturesque place, 10 kilometers from the regional center. 190 children aged 10 to 15 will rest here during the first shift. These are not only children from the region but also from other regions of Belarus and countries, particularly from Russia, emphasized the camp director Irina Starovoytova. Four health resort shifts will be organized during the summer, and a fifth specialized shift for teenagers will start in mid-August. All inter-season shifts have a specific focus. The current one will be held under the motto "The Path to Success" and will contribute to the development of leadership qualities.
The camp has excellent material resources, noted Irina Starovoytova. 60 thousand rubles were allocated from the regional budget for roof repair and asphalt laying, and the founder's funds were used to purchase televisions, various games, new benches at the stadium, etc.
Children will spend their holidays in comfortable conditions. They have at their disposal two volleyball courts, a basketball court, a workout area, a children's playground, table tennis equipment... In short, everyone can showcase their abilities in the sport they prefer. In addition, children can expect general camp events with contests, competitions, and quests.
Seventh-graders Timofey Larionov and Ivan Drobysh from Vitebsk met at "Druzhnye Rebyata" last year. They liked the camp so much that they didn't hesitate to come back. And they did. They are happy to continue their acquaintance. They expect unforgettable experiences from various contests, which, according to them, are fun, interesting, and creative. And if this is accompanied by five delicious meals a day, then one can only dream of a better vacation.
According to tradition, the formed detachments reported their readiness to have fun and healthy recreation. A symbolic voucher for the summer was presented by a fairy-tale character. The start has been given. Bon voyage, summer vacation!
In the Vitebsk region, it is planned to improve the health of more than 43,000 children in summer camps.

Special attention is paid to patriotic camps, of which there are more than 100 in the region, three of them are organized on the basis of military units (Polotsk, Novopolotsk, Postavy).
