To provide health and recreational activities for children and adolescents during the autumn break of the 2025-2026 academic year, 392 educational, health, and sports camps with day stays were organized in the Gomel Region at general secondary education institutions, supplementary education institutions for children and youth, and specialized educational and sports facilities. Over 9,000 schoolchildren benefited from the camps.

More than 200,000 rubles were allocated from the republican budget for these purposes. According to the order of the Republican Center for Health and Spa Treatment of the Population, the amount of funds from the republican budget to reduce the cost of a 5-day day camp voucher is 25.00 rubles.

The camp organizers developed educational plans for children, including cultural and physical education and recreational activities, walks, and excursions. Optimal conditions for active recreation were created, providing each child with the opportunity to realize their potential and express their individuality and creativity. Entertainment and educational activities were organized.

Particular attention was paid to patriotic and educational activities, including quizzes, intellectual games, and competitions.
