Children's holidays for working parents are a real quest: you need to figure out how to keep your child occupied for three whole months. It is especially difficult for those parents whose children are forced to stay in the city for the summer. One possible solution to the problem is city camps: from morning to evening, the child will have an interesting and useful time, and parents will not have to worry about what he is doing - and what he ate for lunch. However, you will have to pay for this peace of mind: the main disadvantage of urban camps is that they are not cheap at all.
To help busy parents, The Village has selected the most interesting creative, educational, developmental and sports programs for children that will be held in Moscow this summer.
In the children's camp “While Mom is at Work,” participants will be taught how to rollerblade and skateboard, play tennis, jump on a trampoline, or dance. There are rock climbing and martial arts classes. In addition to meals, the price includes rental of the necessary equipment.

How is your vacation going?
“Moscow Shift” next year will take place in approximately 300 institutions in Moscow and the region: in 132 school institutions, in 35 sports sections, in 150 at the bases of the department for social protection of citizens.
The city camp provides for feeding children three times, medical care in each of the bases. Such institutions begin their work from 9:00 to 18:00 Moscow time. Teachers are on duty around the clock every day in case parents pick up their child late.
As noted by the Deputy Head of the Department of Education in Moscow, during the holidays events are planned that are dedicated to memorable days that have gone down in the history of the state and the city. One of the days is dedicated to patriotic awareness: schoolchildren are sent to places of former glory, films about the great victory are shown.
In sports sections, according to the “Moscow Shift” project, there are acquaintances with famous athletes, various competitions and demonstration performances, test tasks of the normative complex “Readiness for Labor and Defense”, many excursions, this includes a trip to a sports facility, for example, in Luzhniki . Schoolchildren relaxing at school bases visit Moscow exhibitions, cinemas, children's galleries and go to nature; these are more than 100 sites.
One person visits about 2-3 sites during one shift. During excursions, attention is focused on the creativity and major orientation of schoolchildren. When planning cultural recreation for children, the main priority is observed - each child is given the chance to visit different institutions: entertainment centers, theaters, museums and others.
