June-July 2018. Azure. The baby in the second week whines and talks about how bored they are and that they do not get enough sleep. Without extra lyrics:
Wake up at 6:30 am (scheduled at 7:30 am)
-with a necessary visit to the beach 2p per day, real visits 1 time and not every day (the counselors were too lazy, they referred to the fact that the children did not clean up on time and missed swimming, the second visit in the afternoon was never in 21 days)
- a choice of attending ONE circle for the entire shift
-Food is extremely monotonous and scarce
I got the impression that only specialized units had a particularly active pastime. Those who got into the usual one simply waved their hand. The children were very much looking forward to this trip, as a result, both arrived in disappointment (there were many and different in the camps). When the issue of such a boring and disgusting pastime was clarified in the future, in exchange for the expected expansion of the horizons of children and the acquisition of new skills, the puzzle was formed - in all interesting teams, children of "interesting" companies6 in which parents work were pre-recorded. Mine were offered only the medical and ordinary units for settlement, there was no talk of any others. Like this! I could write that the sea is the best thing that was on this shift, but even they went to it extremely rarely.
The issue price was 80.000 / reb

My daughter was in Artek on a ticket won in a departmental competition. The child has little contact, while communicating well with teammates. The disadvantages were: excessive communication of children at a later time: a late guest came to a roommate and they chirped quite late, disturbing the rest of the sleep); for some reason, in Artek it is not possible to purchase hygiene products (shampoo, soap, etc.

My daughter was in Artek on a ticket won in a departmental competition. The child has little contact, while communicating well with teammates. The disadvantages were: excessive communication of children at a later time: a late guest came to a roommate and they chirped quite late, disturbing the rest of the sleep); for some reason, in Artek it is not possible to purchase hygiene products (shampoo, soap, etc. ). Given the long journey, it would be easier to purchase everything on the spot. Yes, they get up early and stay up late. But all these moments are redeemed by a good filling of leisure. They are always busy with something! Either they prepare for the performance, then they go to school, then somewhere else. Of course, there is also tension with mugs (for example, we always dreamed of shooting from a crossbow, it didn’t work out, only a military detachment can, the rest can’t ((). My food didn’t complain, on the contrary, I was very pleased. Although at home very, very eats poorly and little. Breakfast is not suitable for us (we don’t eat porridge or omelettes). But everything else was very pleasant. Well, I don’t eat soup, which I don’t like, I will gobble up the rest ! ! I really liked the animation table. I was not hungry, on the contrary , 700 g per shift added. I repeat, for us there were much more pluses than minuses. I can't compare with any local camp. Regarding the phone: I had an expensive phone with me, I was always in touch via WhatsApp. Nothing happened to the phone. We had a SIM card from the Crimean telecom operator after the vacation, it was very useful: ours are not there yet and the child cannot purchase it. As for things: the list was collected in accordance with the recommendations: three bags, a million socks), enough underwear, pajamas. Don't complain, that's enough. The issue with the purchase of hygiene products was resolved, although not on the first day.

Artek today is a scam built on the image of the 80s. The child had a rest in July 2017 at the Azure camp. You can choose only one group of interest events for the entire shift, since all circles are held simultaneously at the same time. Conditions barracks, strict. Children are not allowed to enter the camp, medical support is at zero, minimal treatment is not modern, your child may spend the whole shift with a cough and sore throat.

There were no announced meetings with famous people, no entertainment in the evening, there was no cinema disco either. UUUgh!! ! Children loiter with the same phones in their hands, tormented by idleness. And the beaches are just a wild place on the rocks without umbrellas and chaise longues on their towels in the open sun. There were very few excursions. Mortal boredom. the child was taken away earlier could not stand it. And for all this “pleasure” 80.000 rubles were paid. Guard what's going on. Artek - never again and I do not advise you!

Yesterday I had to pick up my daughter and niece from the Polevoy camp. the children could not stand such a disgusting diet, everything is almost cold, not tasty and does not resemble food at all, but some kind of slop !! ! There is never enough fruit and fresh juices in the dining room! They also called the camp's hotline and talked to the director, who replied that he was not responsible for the canteen !!!!! ! For five days of stay, the rooms were cleaned once, although this cannot be called cleaning !! ! In the shower, the water flow does not work at all and it stands in a puddle there and flows into the room !! ! Luggage office worker is generally elusive and very rude woman!! ! The leaders of the 4th detachment are also not professionals in their field, they work according to the principle: a swan, a cancer and a pike, and they constantly raise their voice to the children !!! ! Giving away the children yesterday, the director did not even apologize to the parents for ruining the rest and undermined the stomachs and nerves of the children !! !.

I want to warn those parents who think that Artek is the same as it was 20-25 years ago (during my youth) that this is NOT SO! I will not describe in detail everyday problems, food, the inability to take a shower, call my parents at any time, and similar "minor" shortcomings. You can really come to terms with this and not pay attention if other advantages outweigh.

I want to warn those parents who think that Artek is the same as it was 20-25 years ago (during my youth) that this is NOT SO! I will not describe in detail everyday problems, food, the inability to take a shower, call my parents at any time, and similar "minor" shortcomings. You can really come to terms with this and not pay attention if other advantages outweigh. But the incident, which my daughter told me with tears, made me reconsider this position. Unfortunately, my wife does not want to "make a fuss", so I am writing without surnames.
As a result, we have the following situation. My daughter is 13 years old. Calm, adequate child. When checking into the room, in addition to 3 of the same, they settled 4 more girls from some kind of "song and dance choir". The problems started from the first day. the choristers had known each other for a long time and ignored the others. In addition to communication, this created problems in everyday life.
And, in fact, the case itself. 09/15/2013. Absolute time. Quiet time in the old way. Three choristers do not sleep and actively communicate. The counselor enters the room and makes a remark. The choristers are ignored. The counselor loses his temper and lifts ALL EIGHT girls out of bed and makes them do 50 (fifty) squats. And raises someone as lying in bed. Who is in a nightgown, and who is just in panties. Then it seems to him that they are not punished enough and the figure increases to 80 (eighty). How it was necessary to yell (or not only yell) at the girls so that they would still do 80 squats, I'm even afraid to guess. Mine didn't want to tell.
And now the questions:
1. Why was such a division made during the settlement? Why was it impossible to either settle the choristers all together or settle them one by one?
2. Where do the director, personnel department and camp psychologists look when recruiting such counselors? And who should be responsible for such recruitment?
3. Why is some kid allowed to use army orders? Is Artek a paramilitary camp?
4. Why was the only reaction of the psychologist and the director of the camp the phrases - "we will talk with him that it is impossible to do this"?
P. S. as for me, in such cases, the concepts of "incomplete official compliance", "abuse of authority" and "sexual harassment" apply, but, unfortunately, not in this country.

My 9-year-old daughter had a rest in the first summer shift at the Ozerny camp. From half the shift, I lived "next door", in Gurzuf. She could come to the child at any time, so she saw their life with her own eyes. In a nutshell: remember your Soviet childhood and vacation. The room was for 12 people, bunk beds (fortunately, the daughter was traveling with her team, everyone knew each other).

My 9-year-old daughter had a rest in the first summer shift at the Ozerny camp. From half the shift, I lived "next door", in Gurzuf. She could come to the child at any time, so she saw their life with her own eyes. In a nutshell: remember your Soviet childhood and vacation. The room was for 12 people, bunk beds (fortunately, the daughter was traveling with her team, everyone knew each other). The furniture is not new, but intact. I read horror stories about the shape 3 sizes larger and the old one - no, the shape was good. Children went to the beach in ordinary clothes, not in uniform. At sea, indeed, they entered the water on a whistle, and went out on a siren : ) But, in my opinion, you can’t cope with them in a different way. Strictly with hats: everyone must be in them. As for the left-luggage office - yes, indeed, there is a system that is incomprehensible to me: the children leave their suitcases in the cell, they take the necessary things with them. It’s far to go to the camera, no tokens are given in exchange for things. Therefore, do not give children expensive bags and suitcases, and do not give technology such as iPads: it will be calmer for everyone, and there is no time to play on these devices. . In my opinion, it's good that the children are busy from morning to evening - there is no time and energy for stupidity. What they write that there are no outlets is true. In the rooms, apparently, according to Soviet safety standards, sockets are not provided. Everyone charged their phones from the only socket on the balcony (as they say, on the deck), and there was a long queue. Hence the conclusion: do not give an expensive phone, but give a cheap one, coupled with a charging-solar battery. The food in the dining room did not cause any complaints from her daughter (she is not spoiled in this regard), although all the children lost weight after the shift. It is significant that the children came from the dining room and carried bread. On the one hand, it is bad, on the other, it is sometimes useful to learn to appreciate what is devalued in ordinary life. They told me that the amount for the food of one child had not changed for ten years. The child was satisfied with excursions, events, concerts. Nature and the sea are magical. With the counselors, as I understand it, how lucky - out of our three counselors for one, the children complained that he was cursing, as a result he was fired. The other two children loved. In general, there are more pluses than minuses. As the daughter said: "When we left, all the girls cried, and even two boys" : )))

My daughter is 11 years old, she didn’t even have time to get into the detachment, and the luggage went straight from the shipment, in its entirety, you need to understand that when they handed them over to the storage room, they simply don’t give any tickets, tokens or anything else confirming the check-in of luggage , i. e. Rent on parole. When she came to receive, her luggage was simply not there. At the same time, the tour operator is immediately in the bushes, read the contract, where these experienced smart people wrote in black and white that they are not responsible for money, things, etc. Camp, incl. For the sake of appearance, the directors said that they would look for it, but they didn’t even bother to tell anyone, from neighboring camps to the directors or the police, and the director of the marine himself learned from my wife when she found her phone number on the site, because the phone. This tour operator was left-fax machine. In short, an 11-year-old girl from St. Petersburg turned out to be extreme because, according to the representative, she did not look after her things (when they were in the storage room). And this is a lie that everyone has said - but there may be - someone mistakenly took the wrong suitcase - this is not so because outwardly the luggage stood out and differed from others not by its high cost, but by its color - a bright red bag on wheels, I don’t have them anywhere else I saw, and in the storage room there was nothing like it anymore, according to the daughter and the tour operator. How to transfer more things to her there, clothes, personal items, hygiene items, shoes, medicine, etc. We don’t know yet because - dchl - it’s five days plus customs clearance, plane tickets, until the 12th, well, etc. Yes, and you still need to buy it, because the first suitcase had everything in full from the availability and no more, all the same, she left for 22 days (that's 20 pairs of socks, and so on) A boy from the same group in the camp within 2 hours after arrival they took away the backpack, money, phone, iPad, and he is also not very happy about this. And honestly now I don’t understand at all why we sent her there with such an attitude, we didn’t get a rest, but how the agency behaves you need to see and hear, and nothing can be done with them according to the law. Consider this a warning to all who have not yet abandoned the hope of making their children happy and giving them rest and gain strength - it seems that Artek is not the right place. Goodbye.

If you love your child and care about his normal physical and mental development, DO NOT send him to Artek. You pay only for the name and air. Before getting into the detachment, we waited for two whole hours for the medical examination to begin. A 14-year-old girl is losing consciousness (she came without her parents from Russia, it was very hot, there are no air conditioners or a fan in the building. We asked for a doctor and received an answer that the doctors were having lunch and they had no telephones. After our threats, a doctor appeared and said, that this is not her child, since the girl was from "Azure"... It can't get worse! My son was 11 years old in the Morskoy camp July 2012, detachment 12. The food is bad, inedible, with hair and ants, a child returned as thin as a chip, only sneakers are allowed from shoes, slippers are not allowed, the air temperature in July is 30 degrees... , the uniform is washed once a week. There was no nurse with a first aid kit on the beach. When a child cut his leg in the sea on a broken bottle, he with a bloodied leg, they told me to go to the first-aid post, but it was closed there, there was no one, one nurse for the whole camp?
Every minute is scheduled with events, we rehearse all day, we perform in the evening, i. e. Children don't have free time. For boys who like sports games there is nothing to do there, in the camp there are mainly dances, songs, stage performances. They asked for a soccer ball, there is no ball in the camp and there is no time for games, as it is necessary to prepare for the performance. Counselors swear in front of children and on children, they can hit. Clarify the relationship with each other in the detachment. The counselor always washed in the boys' room, using their means, did not disdain to wash with someone else's washcloth. If your child cannot make a beautiful bed, he will receive a portion of insults in front of the whole squad. If your son at the age of 11 does not yet know what a porn magazine is and what to do with it, he will learn everything in Artek. A very expensive ticket does not guarantee a good contingent in the detachment. The theme of the shift "Film Festival" and the story of the ticket sales representative sounded great and interesting. In reality, the counselors forbade anyone to approach the actors. There was no communication with film actors at all. Film festival in "Marine" - watching the film "Scarlet Sails" and all. But until late at night, the children were "very interested" in watching the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which took place in Lesnoy. Like it or not, sit and watch. Tired of sitting in one position, ants bite, we want to sleep at 2 am - we sit and watch. The child began to ask to go home on the 6th day. We thought that for the first time, we would like it....the child is sociable, independent, not from a timid dozen, after all, this is "ARTEK", we thought. On the way home, listening to the child, my heart sank. When I finished the story, my son asked me never to remember "Artek" again. If you love your child, DO NOT PUNISH HIM WITH ARTEK. I regret that I didn't listen to my parents. I thought it was prejudice, the children were spoiled. There is nothing good in Artek!! ! Do not injure the psyche of your children!! !

There is no time even to talk with parents, if there is then during sleep in a whisper so that the counselors do not hear. There are 8 girls in the ward and 1 shower for everyone, my child has not washed for 2 days! He says that they take the queue in advance. , they constantly yell at children, they do everything not as they want. Money disappears in the ward (there are suspicions that the counselors themselves steal). In short, some kind of concentration camp! In general, the child asks with tears to be taken home. And this is for such money! Artek is just Soviet shit, we won't go there again!

On August 4 my son returned from Artek. Well, in order. At the end of May, my son won the regional swimming championship among 98-99. The sports committee "rewarded" him with a ticket. I will say this - it was a holiday in the family. But the holiday turned into disappointment, and disappointment turned into anger. Anger at the indifference and unprofessionalism towards our children in this camp. We are talking about the camp "Field" 6 shift 11 detachment, leader Zelinsky Alexander. In telegraph style: In Simferopol they didn't feed (but they promised! ) They took me to swim in the sea on the fourth (! ) day. Do you remember the weather? The reason was not explained. Swimming took place like this - 10 minutes of actual swimming, 20 minutes on the shore. Three entries. You can't dive, you get out of the water if you violate it. Cute, right? Well, now remember the "fabulous advertising" at the office. Artek website - a child can choose his own menu. Ha ha! Choosing between sticky pasta and undercooked rice? BRAVO! At the end of July, they "drove" to the Junior Eurovision - went to bed at the beginning of the first night, but the rise was strictly at 7.00. The camp, however. . . MODE! Now about the counselor. Guys, if I were not 800 km away, but closer, there would be trouble! How do such counselors get into the camp? ! By pull? There is no other explanation! Calling children "deer"! Constant problems with charging phones (there are no sockets in the case). You call in the morning all day, no connection, all on your nerves. The next morning, the son calls - the counselor again did not allow the phone to be charged. But when I later looked at the photos, I understood everything - he hugs the counselor Anya by the waist - the guy is simply not up to the children! The crown of everything: the son calls and tells - we were marching in formation, the counselor commanded "stop", I did not have time to stop and hit the one in front. I broke my nose - then someone bumped into me from behind - I waved it off. The counselor Alexander Zelinsky comes up and gives my son a slap! From tel. conversation with the counselor: Sasha, can you guess why I'm calling? Answer: I guess, but I apologized! ---Sasha, where do you study? Answer: In Odessa. ---Do you want me to write a letter to the rector? Answer: I don't! I did apologize! Well, something like this. I have cooled down a bit, my son has also calmed down. Let's feed him now. Lost under two kilos, but pulls up twice as much. As in that joke: Kolobok is strong but light! Life goes on. Take care of your children. THEY NEED NO ONE BUT YOU!
