The press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources reported that in such camps children can both relax and learn how to respect nature. In total, more than 50 ecological camps will be organized on the basis of Russian nature reserves and national parks. It is expected that about 7.5 thousand children will rest in such camps.

One of the oldest and most famous ecological camps is located in the Kenozero National Park in the Arkhangelsk region. Here, schoolchildren from 10 to 18 years old take carpentry courses, craft practices, work in the school of a young guide and are engaged in media platforms.

A rally for the winners of environmental campaigns will be held in the Alkhanai National Park in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Children will live in a tent camp and study biodiversity. In addition, they will walk along hiking trails and ecological paths.

In the Robinsonade travel club in the Valdaisky National Park in the Novgorod Region, children will be taught how to navigate the terrain. In addition, they will be able to take part in sports and recreational activities. A media camp will operate in the "Dagestan" reserve, in which children will also learn orientation and master basic tourist skills.

On the basis of the Kuril Reserve in the Sakhalin Region, there is a local history camp "Fregat" for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old. In it, high school students are engaged in the study of mineralized lakes, ecological trails and animal observations.

In the Zeya Reserve in the Amur Region, participants in the Journey to the Origins profile shift will explore the populations of the crane and the Far Eastern stork, and in the Kaluga Zaseki Reserve, children will learn a lot about the work of protecting and studying the free bison population.

Some reserves will hold real ecological expeditions. In the Astrakhan Reserve, almost 200 people aged 10 to 17 will watch birds, accompanied by ornithologists, at the Novenky cordon. An expedition will take place in the Curonian Spit National Park in the Kaliningrad Region, the participants of which will study eco-trails and master first aid skills.
