Belarus Invests in Summer Camps, Making Fun Affordable for All

Summer Camps in Belarus: Affordable Fun for Children Belarus is making summer camp more accessible to families. The government is covering 40% of the cost of a child's summer camp stay. This initiative aims to provide children with a fun and healthy summer experience. The additional support for low-income families and children with disabilities is a significant step towards inclusivity. "The government has invested heavily in upgrading facilities," says Gennady Bolbatovsky, director of the Republican Center for Health Improvement and Recreation. "This includes new furniture, sports equipment, and landscaping." This year's investment is 15% higher than last year's, reflecting a commitment to improving the quality of summer camps. Camps offer a wide variety of activities, including sports, medical treatments, and creative competitions. The director of a children's health camp, Andrey Mikulich, emphasizes the packed schedule: "Children will have no free time; every minute will be filled with activities." The program aims to benefit over 400,000 children this summer. The popularity of summer camps is growing, with many spots filling up quickly. With the government's support and a focus on offering enriching experiences, Belarusian children are set to enjoy a memorable summer.
