The summer health campaign continues in the regions of Russia. In the Year of Children's Leisure, the education system has prepared various leisure formats for schoolchildren: sports and creative events, environmental campaigns, hiking trips, as well as scientific, educational and patriotic projects.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov summed up the results of the work of children's health camps in June.
"President Vladimir Putin instructed to pay special attention to the quality and safety of children's recreation. It is important to provide comfortable and educational recreation to everyone, and, of course, to the children of our heroes – participants of the special military operation. In June 2025, about 40 thousand children's recreation and health organizations have already accepted about 3 million children, including almost 126 thousand children of SVO participants. In the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, children's camps hold patriotic shifts, where children learn about the history of the country and participate in thematic events. The key task is to continue the modernization of the recreation and health infrastructure, including the International Children's Center "Artek", which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
In June, more than 800 thousand children who found themselves in difficult life situations and about 28 thousand schoolchildren from the reunited regions rested in children's camps. At the same time, about 73 thousand students from different regions of Russia rested on the coast of the Black and Azov Seas alone.
"In the Year of Children's Recreation in the Education System, dedicated to the anniversaries of the federal children's centers "Artek", "Orlyonok" and "Smena", the summer health campaign will cover about 6 million schoolchildren across the country. To ensure a high level of quality in organizing recreation and health improvement for children, a unified system for training camp counselors has been introduced and a federal program of educational work for all children's camps has been approved. This allows us to build a holistic approach to raising children in camps, which complements the educational work carried out with children in schools," said Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.
Summer shifts are also actively held in other children's health camps. In Crimea, for example, there are 370 children's camps. Particular attention is paid to organizing recreation for children from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Kursk and Belgorod regions. It is planned to accept 1.8 thousand children from these regions at the expense of the reserve fund of the Republic of Crimea.
In addition, in July, shifts with the participation of children from different countries were held in children's centers subordinate to the Ministry of Education. Thus, the eighth international shift "Artek Gathers Friends" is taking place in the International Children's Center "Artek", which united more than 3 thousand children from all regions of Russia and from 66 foreign countries. The shift program includes key topics: the 80th anniversary of Victory, the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland and the 100th anniversary of "Artek".
For the first time in 30 years, the All-Russian Children's Center "Orlyonok" is hosting a group of 25 Cuban schoolchildren and their mentors. The opening ceremony of the international program "Children of the World" was held at the All-Russian Children's Center "Ocean". It is attended by children from Russia and 5 friendly countries: the People's Republic of China, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Laos and Belarus. As part of this program, participants will study the culture of different peoples, the basics of public diplomacy, exchange experiences and work on joint creative projects.
Let us recall that earlier the Ministry of Education approved plan of events for the Year of Children's Leisure
