Our days at the camp include many interesting projects and cases.

About us
Our camp DAR has been working with children for more than 8 years and is an integral part of the school holidays calendar.
We spent more than 35 shifts, and this is about 1000 children visited the camp. We have seen how our children change, their insecurities disappear as friendship blossoms, children learn independence and, above all, self-confidence, and a positive self-image appears when children receive recognition and support from their new friends in the camp.
Much loved by our parents, guardians, grandparents, the children’s camp provides flexible, affordable and reliable child care during school holidays. Of great importance for the camp staff is the care of children, an individual approach. Every day at the camp is an adventure, an opportunity to learn something new, share your opinion, meet new friends and become more confident in yourself.
Our camp provides an opportunity to actively relax for all children aged 4 to 16 years. Book from 1 day to a full week in one of the more popular places in London – on Abbey Road.
Practical activities in the camp: maintaining the skills of Russian colloquial speech, applying skills and knowledge in collective affairs, informal communication of participants.
Project activity in the camp: we will train the skill of independence, teach how to resolve situations, learn modern trends in the interests of children.
A team of educators with extensive experience working with bilingual children work with children in a surprisingly active and friendly atmosphere. Under the strict supervision and gentle direction of the teachers, our children will gain invaluable experience of communication and work in the proposed circumstances and various game situations.
What will we teach?
Draw
One of the favorite activities for children is drawing. In the creative process, children show not only their emotionality by choosing certain colors, but also their mood, vision and understanding of the educational material. A big plus in the work of the art workshop is that the lesson is not limited by time, which is important for the creativity of the children. Giving the opportunity to express themselves using non-traditional drawing techniques, the guys create a whole collection of their work.
Communicate
Children always come first at the Dar camp. Programs are carefully developed with one main goal – to be informative and interesting for each participant, where they can communicate in an informal setting, learn to express their opinion, and be able to conduct a dialogue in public.
Think and meditate
Our children are always open to conversation on various topics. Every day we start with the council of the day, where the guys discuss a certain topic. The camp uses the technique of simulation games, where, under certain conditions, children reflect, discuss and learn to make decisions. We constantly offer modern, inspiring and exciting projects, and we can’t wait for your child to become an active participant in them!
Play
With the help of games, children quickly switch from one activity to another, which helps to relieve emotional and mental stress. Communicating and playing, children develop thinking, attention, memory, get to know each other and themselves better. Communicative games help the child to develop emotional and social intelligence. Children learn to empathize, show different feelings, communicate, express their own thoughts. In the camp we hold the following games: chess tournaments, games on the basics of economics, various logic quests.
Create
Every child is talented. And our task is to give children every opportunity to develop their creative abilities. The vocal-dramatic program helps us in this. Under the creative guidance of professional actors, directors and vocalists, children learn to perform in front of the public. The ability to sing, dance, recite in front of the audience is one of the most exciting activities of our guys.

Reviews
Our children have been studying in the Gift during the holidays for more than 2 years! The program is always interesting, the group is small and a lot of attention is paid to each child. Children (5 and 7 years old) they come out with great pleasure and ask to come back! I highly recommend it to children from 3 years old!
Camp Dar pleases us with its diverse program during the holidays. My children attend whenever possible, as there are very diverse topics: from creativity and workshops to economic knowledge and logic. The atmosphere in the camp is sincere, and sometimes the children are in no hurry to go home. I am glad that my children have found new friends and speak Russian with their peers. We will continue to be friends and study!
It is difficult for my child to speak Russian, we speak English more in our family. And we came to the camp for one day, to try. And to my surprise, the child liked it! We are very grateful to the teachers, as we found an approach and carried him away with what he was interested in. As I was later told that my son chose the business he was interested in. Thank you for such an individual approach!
I am always very happy to send my son to Camp Dar on vacation. One of my main arguments is that he likes it there. And it's not so easy to occupy my son. Classes in the Gift are fascinating with an individual approach. Picking up at the end of the day, I see that my child wants to eat and tell me something new. It is also very important for me that a small individual review of the results of the work is given. Thanks to the Dar team.
