children summer restSummer is the most favorite time of the year for almost everyoneany person. And certainly all children simply adore summer - after all, it is at this time that they have the longest vacation. However, summer very often becomes the subject of additional parental worries about how to properly organize children's vacation. Of course, summer is good in itself, but children's vacation in the summer is a guarantee not only of good academic performance at school, but also of the child's health. And, in addition, few parents like the idea of ​​​​leaving their child to his own devices for three months - after all, unfortunately, no vacation lasts so long. That is why the question of how to organize children's summer vacation is always very acute. Some people prefer to vacation with their children during the holidays, while others prefer to vacation separately from their children. The traditional solution to the problem is to send your child to a health camp. If you decide to go this way, you need to take care of purchasing a ticket in advance - in May it is almost impossible to buy a ticket. The first thing you should do is decide which camp your child will go to. This issue must be approached very carefully to avoid disappointment and a ruined holiday.

  • Contact your doctor, a pediatrician,who observes the child and knows all aspects of his health. The doctor will be able to advise you which climate is most optimal for your child. Most often, children are perfectly adapted to the warm climate of such countries of the near abroad as Montenegro or Bulgaria. An equally good way is to go to health camps on the Black Sea coast. If your child is well tolerated by the hot climate, you might think about purchasing a voucher to Italy or Greece, which are famous for their excellent and quality children's rest.
  • A no less significant aspect should be thehobbies of the child. It is unlikely that a young athlete will be delighted with the month - another, held in a children's camp with an intellectual bias. And children with a creative character warehouse will be happy to spend the summer in the camp, where various festivals are held and a lot of time is devoted to the creative process. If the child is very small, an out-of-school kindergarten is suitable for him, and if the child is already almost an adult, he will certainly appreciate the rest in youth camps abroad, where the summer children's program is very extensive.
  • If you decide to send the child to the camp,you need to really and adequately assess the child's possibilities, such as, for example, the knowledge of a foreign language, in which you communicate in the camp you have chosen. Do not rely solely on the information that you have - be sure to consult with the child himself.
  • And, of course, a very important decisive factorthe choice of the camp will be a summer vacation budget. No parents will not save on the summer rest of the child, but sometimes you have to overpay extra money only for the remoteness of the camp. So, for example, a trip to Greece will cost more by about 60% than a trip to a camp of a similar level in the same Bulgaria.
  • If you are the parent of a child withparticular health conditions that require special attention, you should pay attention to those children's institutions that specialize in working with such children and will be able to provide your child with the necessary medical care. Do not risk your child's health and get a ticket for a child suffering from a serious illness to a normal camp. After all, in the case of an unexpected exacerbation of the disease, in the absence of appropriate medical care, the precious time that is necessary for the provision of first aid can be lost.
  • And even in the event that the state of healththe child does not exclude the possibility of finding a child in an ordinary camp, but nevertheless has its own peculiarities - gastrointestinal tract diseases, allergic reactions to certain foods or plants - be sure to inform the medical staff of the camp.
  • There are also children's health campsprofile medical direction - for children suffering from bronchial asthma and other lung diseases, diseases of the urinary system and even for children with behavioral characteristics such as hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, autism.
  • You can spend a very long time sorting through hundreds of children'scamps, but there is absolutely no point in wasting your time. Almost all children's health camps have similar principles of operation and a program for organizing children's leisure. That is why the attempt of parents to choose the ideal camp for their child is almost doomed to failure. However, do not forget that all camps employ highly qualified and experienced teachers who make every effort to ensure that children's rest is not only exciting, but also useful. So, having assessed the family budget, having decided on the amount that you are willing to spend on rest during school holidays and having learned the preferences of the child, you need to make a list of five or six most suitable camps that meet your requirements. After that, try to collect as much information as possible about each camp from the list you have compiled. A lot of information and reviews from parents can be found on the Internet by entering the name of the camp in the search bar of any search engine. If you have such an opportunity, try to visit the camp you have chosen yourself, look at the conditions of the children's stay, talk to the teachers.

    Payment for rest

    summer holiday program for childrenThere are some payment information you need to know.children's vouchers. Not every average Russian family is able to pay for their child's vacation not only abroad, but even for a summer vacation for children at sea. However, this is not a reason to deprive the child of a vacation. If at least one of the parents works in a government agency, do not rush and pay for the voucher from the family budget. The Social Insurance Fund of Russia annually allocates a strictly fixed amount to pay for children's vacations upon preliminary application of the enterprise. Even if your enterprise is not state-owned, inquire with the accounting department how you resolve the issue of organizing children's vacations. After all, as soon as any company registers with the Social Insurance Fund, the company can apply for assistance in co-financing the vacation of its employees' children. In order for parents to be able to receive financial compensation for their child's vacation, they must write an application either to the head of the enterprise, or to a special commission on social insurance, if there is one at the enterprise. Of course, the company will not pay for the child's vacation abroad, but parents can choose any country health camp, school day camp or sanatorium located in Russia. In 2011, the Social Insurance Fund pays for children's vacations at the rate of 540 rubles per day per child. If the voucher to the sanatorium you have chosen is more expensive, you will have to pay the difference yourself. If you have chosen a country camp for your child's vacation, the Social Insurance Fund will pay only 50% of the cost of the voucher. Also, one should not lose sight of the fact that the Social Insurance Fund pays for the vacation only of those children who have not yet reached the age of 16. In the same case, if your family falls into the category of low-income families, you can count on receiving a discounted voucher with a 100% discount. To do this, you need to write a corresponding application to the social security authorities of your place of residence. You should also contact them if your company has refused to give you a discounted voucher. The Social Insurance Fund staff will explain your rights and advise you on what to do next. If you want your child to undergo a course of health therapy, the best vacation for him/her would be a spa treatment. To get a voucher to a sanatorium, you need to get a certificate form 070u from your local clinic, as well as a referral from your local pediatrician. After that, you must write an application for a voucher, attaching a copy of the certificate and the doctor's referral. Do not forget about the main difference between a camp and a sanatorium - in a camp, a child can rest only during school holidays, and in a sanatorium - all year round.

    Holidays with a child abroad

    children's summer vacation at seaIf the question is about summer holidays for school childrenvacation is more or less clear, then a summer vacation with a small child is more problematic. Often, parents, going on vacation, take the baby with them. In order for a joint trip abroad not to turn into additional problems, parents must provide for many things - living conditions in the hotel, food, acclimatization. As a rule, almost all foreign resorts offer vacationers absolutely everything that is necessary for a comfortable joint vacation with children. If you choose the right hotel, you will be provided not only with a crib and a diet optimized for the needs of the child's body, but also full organization of children's leisure. Most hotels are happy to provide very significant discounts on vacations for small children, which cannot but have a positive effect on the state of the parents' wallet. After all, you can spend the money saved on your baby. When going on vacation abroad, be sure to check with a representative of the travel agency, from what age children are accepted in the hotel you have chosen. Very many hotels do not accept children under two years of age. Frankly speaking, there is a great deal of common sense in this restriction – any change of climate is not recommended for children under three years of age. You need to find out about all these subtleties and nuances from your tour operator. Do not forget about such seemingly trivial things as the presence of fencing around the beaches, the presence of a children's playground on the territory of the hotel, whether it is possible to rent roller skates, bicycles, inflatable rings and other equipment for organizing children's recreation. Do not forget about such an important thing as medical insurance for your baby. Do not hope that your child will not get sick on vacation – small children get sick quite often, and it is almost impossible to predict how the baby's body will react to a change in climate. In addition, children are very active and inquisitive, which is why they often get various injuries. And it is good if it is an ordinary bruise or scratch. However, the baby can get a more serious injury that requires medical intervention. And treatment of a child who falls ill abroad is much more expensive than medical insurance. It is also necessary to approach the issue of paperwork very carefully so that you do not have problems when passing customs control at the airport. Before the trip, be sure to check that you have the following documents on hand:

    • International passport. You can order a foreign passport in the name of crumbs, or the passport office employees will write the child into your passport and paste a picture of the child there.
    • In the event that you are traveling with a child to rest in a country with a visa regime, you need to get a visa not only for yourself, but also for the child.
    • And one more, no less important condition - in thatIf the child leaves only with one of the parents, the presence of a notarized consent of the second parent is necessary. And if a child's vacation on vacation abroad is planned for the older child who travels as part of the group, then consent must be obtained from both parents.

    In any case, whatever you choose, childrenActive recreation in summer will bring much more benefit than summer time spent on the playground of a hot and stuffy city. We wish you and your children only good weather and the most positive impressions.
