In 2006 the increase in demand at children's and teenage rest — on the average on 15-20 % is expected. Many firms have declared expansion of quantity of directions. And bases of children's rest vary are a requirement of time.

TIME TO CHOOSE
Before going to tour agency to consider catalogues, it is expedient to understand even for what exactly we search for the child. For the beginning it is useful to find out a direction: the sea, a balneological resort or a resort zone nearby to the basic residence.
Each of these kinds of rest has both pluss, and minuses. On the sea, for example, it is useful to send children both physically hardy, and often ill — however provided that there are no contra-indications. It is not recommended to go there to teenagers who are not able to float or badly transfer the southern sun.

On a balneological resort, clear business, we advise to go to children with chronic diseases or for passage of a rate obscheozdorovitel'nyh procedures. Is not advised to send there children dependent or too small: if doctors will paint procedures and a mode of drink of water, and your child of all this will ignore, the effect will be minimal (though you will pay for treatment). The trip to suburb is useful in the event that parents wish to visit "kid" even once a week. However such voyage will not add impressions to active children who love change of conditions and would like to visit any unusual excursion programs.

The second question — abroad or « native open spaces »? Certainly, a trip to other state — pleasure more dear. However its doubtless plus — higher level of service, and also huge cognitive effect. The last is very important, in fact the formed person greedy absorbs all interesting. Besides it is useful for child to learn something new independently, without podstegivaniia teachers and parents.
Though experience shows, that a teenage trip to other country sometimes happen very much even accessible at the price of. For example, it is possible to find the three-week permit on the Bulgarian sea resort for 1800 grn. (with bus crossing and three meals a day). Conditions of residing — not hotel, certainly, but also not ours «sovkovyi» camp. Children live on 3-4 persons in number, go on the sea, visit pool, participate in every possible animation programs.

CARRYING OUT
The bus trip of the child to other country is interfaced to additional efforts: it is necessary to be reserved by a travel paper (passport), to issue at the notary of the application-sanction from both parents, to adjust « the young traveller » on distant (sometimes night) crossing accompanied by unfamiliar tutors and children. In trip abroad tour operators recommend to send those children who have experience of travel even across Ukraine and well transfer road burdens.

And even sending the child in the camp located in Ukraine, not superfluous will specify conditions of residing, and also approaches to formation pedsostava. Cases when permits are on sale in not equipped and badly adapted for residing camp are frequent, and tutors type « from local » which do not feel any responsibility for health of the entrusted children. According to experts Gospotrebzaschity, about each fifth children's camp works with the infringements, many are closed during a season.

Once the author of these lines could observe of the children's group which has located one of mirgorodskih of sanatoria. The small part of having a rest schoolboys regularly drank mineral water and accepted procedures. The majority of children water was not drunk also with procedures ignored. There were also such teenagers who drank basically beer or slaboalkogol'nye drinks, came back late, for a breakfast went seldom and with something were eternally dissatisfied. Two very young teachers are not guilty: it is heavy to follow 40 children in the age of from 7 till 16 years, pulled out from under parental trusteeship on will …

Let's admit, you were defined — the sea, Ukraine. The third question — where exactly to send the child? Buying the permit in unfamiliar camp, take an interest, it belongs to what department, whether there is at tour agency an operational experience with this institution, whether phone is established there, whether protection is on duty. The preference should be given institutions which are in charge of the Ministry of Education, the Ministries on affairs of family and youth, and also the Ministry of Internal Affairs (the Ministry of Internal Affairs too has in the structure improving camp for children of employees). It is possible to buy safely permits and in those institutions which are « under patronage » a travel company, — as a rule, its workers watch order.

Director of company " Satellite-¬¿Ó«ó«úÓáñ " approves Dmitry Pikulin: « Daily we accept some tens calls from parents who wish to send the children on rest to the sea. Basically people are interested in permits on domestic resorts, however put forward more and more high requirements to comfort and safety. It is logical. Workers of our firm have visited on all bases of accommodation which we offer tourists, carefully trace performance of all standards. Once we even leased the children's improving center, held all under the control. Business it though and hlopotnoe, but favourable. Cost of children's rest in it to year will raise (gasoline and products rose in price, the level of a payment) » raised.

AS THE PRICE, SO QUALITY
The answer to a question « Where exactly? » Depends on the budget of a trip. In fact there are like usual 24-day's permits to Black sea both for 800, and for 3000 grn. We shall tell in brief about price tendencies on the most popular routes.

The cheapest variant — residing at tent small town. Probably, there is no need to describe merits and demerits of this kind of rest — all clearly and so. The price turodnia begins from 40 grn. (with three meals a day).

However, there are « tent variants » and is more dear. It is a question about skautskih programs. Svetlana Gusarova, director of base "Sea" the tourist operator «IArd» (Dnepropetrovsk), tells, that many children of the senior age group with pleasure live in camps: mountains, the sea, romanticism — only is a lot of. « Interest big, armour protection have already gone. Actively we cooperate with travel agencies. We have developed three programs of a different level of complexity, and all of them are demanded », — Mrs. Gusarova speaks.

One more democratic variant — residing at simple conditions (« on the basis of school » or in small houses). The prices begin from 60 grn. Convenience, clear business, or on a floor, or in the street.
Residing at the case with convenience will manage from 70 grn. (the Nikolaev and Kherson areas, coast of sea of Azov) up to 100-120 grn. (Crimea, the Odessa area) in day.

Is, the truth, and offers with residing at number of a category lux — with a shower, a toilet, the TV, a refrigerator. Naturally, to send in such numbers it is necessary children more independent and responsible (it depends on age poorly). Cost — from 150 grn. In day.
« Earlier our camp referred to « Kastel' », but per 2005 have lead serious reconstruction, have made repair, have bought the Italian furniture, — Oksana Jatskova, the manager of children's improving camp " Protected « (Alushta) speaks. — We have decided to start to work from a pure leaf, and camp have renamed. The first year worked on image, have proved, and have now entered into a normal mode. Cost of residing has raised nenamnogo — on the average on 10 grn. People go to us with pleasure. Applications much, 70 % of places are already reserved. Basically numbers reserve travel agencies, from private persons it is not enough applications (they will start to act somewhere by the end of May). I can tell, that 60 % having a rest — from Ukraine (basically from east and central regions), 40 % — from Russia (basically from Moscow). In September and October we accept also adults ».

Rest on children's resorts (Mirgorod, Morshin, Evpatoria) will manage even more dearly, as in cost of the permit are included comfortable enough residing (as a rule, on the basis of sanatorium), 4-5-razovoe a feed, and also course of treatment. Cost — from 2000 grn. For change (which can last from 18 till 24 days, and in separate places — and longer). In case of need we advise to take advantage of medical-improving programs, having lead with the child detailed « explanatory work » on rules of reception of procedures.

As a rule, rest of children in camp is accompanied by the excursion program. Sometimes «ekskursionka» it is already included in the program of a trip and all children organizovanno go to go sightseeing.
However parents should understand, that the child can and not go on excursion, having declared something of type « at me the head hurts ». What sense to not go on excursion? While all group "is fried" in a museum, it is possible spokoinen'ko to lie down in number or to be chatted on camp without supervision of tutors.

Sometimes «ekskursionka» in the program it is not included (that turpaket was cheaper) and then the travel company suggests parents to be defined, whether the child will visit excursions. Many parents answer: « Certainly, will be ». Also give children of money for voyages. Having arrived on a place, the child usually "forgets" manuals of "ancestors" and lowers a cash under own discretion.

GIVE ADVICE!
To a choice of the company by means of which you plan to send the child in tour, we advise to approach with all carefulness. The matter is that there is a decision of Ministry, which allows to work with children's groups not only to travel companies, but also « to the enterprises, establishments, the organizations, including charitable and public (provided that their charter stipulates conducting or assistance of activity on the organization of rest and improvement of children abroad) ».

Let's translate on Russian: leaves to take out 30 children to Bulgaria, it is not necessary to have at all neither the tourist license, nor a bank guarantee, — that the most surprising — experience of similar activity! For this reason we advise to buy children's permits or through travel companies, or is direct in sanatoria, boarding houses and camps.
Officials have written down, that « supervising department » in this sphere will be the Ministry on affairs of family, youth and sports, and also corresponding structural divisions on places. That is about reputation of this or that institution it is possible to learn in these departments.
