Children's educational tourism. Children's tourism: history, directions and features. What should you pay attention to when planning your child's vacation?
Children's tourism occupies the noblest sector of the tourism industry market. Recreation programs designed to broaden children's horizons, improve health or reveal talents are ultimately aimed at the development of the younger generation - potentially the most active in Russian society in the near future.
Traditionally, children's summer camps are widespread in Russia, offering rich animation programs today. Separately, thematic camps stand out among them, subject to one topic: tent camps with training in tourism elements, archaeological camps, where children are excavating the sites of primitive people, sports, equestrian sports, there are camps with a religious focus, etc. Children's recreation centers abroad have an indisputable advantage, offering language practice and immersion in a new culture. Often located in warm countries, by the sea (in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatia, Malta, etc.), such children's centers are distinguished by rich excursion and thematic programs and allow you to communicate with peers from both the CIS countries and other countries .
Excursion (bus or combined: train + bus) cultural and educational tours around Europe are popular. Even long journeys on European roads are usually regarded by children as a real adventure. Children's sightseeing trips around Russia are also experiencing a "second birth". Tour operators are constantly creating new excursion programs with tourist brands that are attractive to children (“To the homeland of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden”), entertainment (“Baskin Robins” ice cream factory with tasting delicious products), patriotic (“Kubinka - Museum of Armored Vehicles”), educational (excursions to the estates of writers, poets), etc. You can choose options that are integrated into the programs of specialized schools or colleges, such as an excursion for young biologists "Visiting Bison" to the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve.
Children's sports tourism and outdoor activities are widely represented. On the territory of Russia, the most famous are the joint programs "Robinsonade" and "Adventure", which include skiing and hiking, kayaking and catamaran rafting, hiking on flat and mountain bikes, etc. It is worth paying attention to foreign sports, for example, winter camps, where children under the guidance of instructors learn to ski and snowboard.
Health-improving children's camps offer general strengthening programs, while children can improve their health in specialized children's sanatoriums, as well as in sanatoriums and clinics designed to receive parents with children. And, of course, various types of recreation can be combined with additional education, primarily with the study of foreign languages in summer language schools, common in many European countries.
You can get acquainted with operators specializing in various types of children's recreation on our website or, of course, on the websites of the PCT member companies themselves.

Cognitive and entertaining children's tourism
Children's tourism is one of the best ways to broaden a child's horizons, find him an interesting hobby, and at the same time get him interested in many school subjects. Cognitive elements, as a rule, are closely intertwined with entertainment. Young children are interested in animals, fairy-tale characters and a variety of toys. For schoolchildren, in turn, scientific experiments, various museums, as well as computer, dance and language camps are more suitable.
Some programs give children a chance to try themselves in a variety of roles and thus choose a future profession. So, in Moscow "Masterslavl" or St. Petersburg "Kidburg" a model of the whole city was created, where a child can try on any specialty - from a farmer to a banker. Many family parks are open - such as, for example, "Kudykina Gora" in the Lipetsk region, where, in addition to walking through a wooden fortress and a park with animals, you can learn how to work with a potter's wheel.
Museums are also not far behind: now, instead of boring monotonous excursions, they increasingly offer interactive programs: quests, games, master classes, robotics schools and other interesting things. Thanks to this, children, on the one hand, do not have time to get bored, and on the other hand, they learn a lot of new things.
Numerous amusement parks and water parks help the whole family shake off the everyday mood and have plenty of fun. Water activities are easy to find in traditional seaside resorts - in Gelendzhik, Anapa, Sochi, Tuapse. In Alushta, a water park "At Lukomorye" with attractions based on Russian fairy tales was opened, in the Azov region the water park is dedicated to the "Treasure Island". However, the matter is not limited to resorts. The water park in Rostov-on-Don entered the top ten in Europe according to tourist reviews, and in the Altai Territory on Lake Yarovoye there is the largest water park in Siberia.
