For the student teaching team "Yunost", summer is not just a vacation, but a real rhythm of life, where every day is filled with events, emotions and a sense of responsibility. This year, the polytechnicians worked in children's health camps in the Leningrad Region: "Chaika", "Golubaya Strela" and "Meridian".
During the summer season, Yunost activists do not have lectures or notes on the counselor's business, but real situations arise that require a quick reaction, a creative approach and the ability to work in a team. Every day is a new challenge: from planning events to resolving conflicts, from morning exercises to an evening campfire. And if at the beginning it seems that three weeks is a lot, then by the end of the shift you understand how quickly time has flown and how much has happened.
The guys work not only as counselors, but also as club leaders, inspiring children to be creative, and also hold positions in the press center, preserving the most valuable moments. They even become substitute counselors, who are always ready to help during heavy workloads.
The guys admit that they do all this for the sake of emotions: children's laughter, gratitude from parents, observations of how boys and girls grow and become more self-confident. This is the most valuable feedback that helps to understand that everything is not just like that.
This shift became the best proof for me: there are no bad children – there is unspent energy that can be turned into creativity! I was lucky to work with very active and emotional children – yes, sometimes it was not easy, but this was our main advantage. As soon as we started talking about the upcoming concert, the squad quickly got down to work. As a result, we were repeatedly noted for our unconventional approach. And although we did not always receive awards, the main victories were not them at all, but the happy eyes of the children, their happy smiles and desire to create together, – shared a fighter of the SPO "Yunost" Tatyana Shmeleva.
Organizational issues caused a lot of trouble during the shift. And here the squad friends came to the rescue, who would support and not let you get bored.
The work season for the Yunost squad is not just a summer job, but a whole life. The guys gain experience and create valuable moments of their youth – the very ones that will warm the soul many years later. And all this thanks to working in a large and friendly team – the squad family.
