What is unique about the camp
  • In the creative process, children are partners and equal participants . Adults and children have equal rights, with the exception that adults are responsible for children.
  • Each year’s theme reflects the spirit of the time and is always on the cutting edge of relevance and popularity. The filming process is formed by a new agenda, and the films produced by children align with the main topic of the season and differ in genre.
  • Each term, the child learns to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, make new friends, practice communication, and exercise independence and perseverance to achieve the goal.
  • A well-balanced schedule of creative and sports activities, travel, and excursions.
