sends schoolchildren to Artek
Three weeks of rest in Artek, the famous pioneer camp of the USSR, is fully paid for by the state. Accommodation, food, excursions - everything is free, except tickets to Simferopol.
I classroom teacher, I do hiking and orienteering with children. My students go to competitions and win top places. These achievements helped the students win a trip to the camp. Now I’ll tell you how they did it.
Briefly: how to get to Artek
- Collect and scan certificates for the last three years. Make sure that the year is indicated on them, there is a signature and a seal.
- Register on the Artek-Children website and submit an application for several shifts. If you have any questions about the operation of the site, write to technical support.
- Wait for the automatic distribution of vouchers - this will happen no later than 20 days before the start of the shift.
- Pass a medical examination. Certificates will be issued free of charge at the hospital to which the child is assigned.
- Buy tickets and sign documents. If you have any questions, ask them to your regional operator.
- Provide the child with money, a telephone, clothes and toiletries.
- Join the regional delegation, take them to Artek yourself, or send your child alone.
Why Artek
Since 2014, Russian schoolchildren began to be given vouchers to Artek for achievements in studies, creativity and sports. 95% of tours are free.
I don’t know exactly how tickets are won for winning specific competitions - I don’t have that kind of experience. The Artek website contains a list of partners and the rules for competitive selection. For example, the Russian Post is holding a letter competition “Post, I want to go to Artek,” the winners of which are awarded trips to the camp.
I will tell you how the vouchers that are distributed by region win.
We tell you how to save not only on children
Regional trips
Every year, the Ministry of Education and Science distributes free vouchers between Russian regions. For example, in Primorsky Krai, where I live, 176 vouchers were given in 2017. Moscow was allocated 900.
Schoolchildren who want to go to the camp submit applications and list their achievements - victories in various competitions. Each achievement is assessed in points - whoever gets the most points goes to the camp.
In 2015-2016, vouchers were distributed by employees of education departments in the regions. Has been doing this since 2017 automated system"Artek".
900
free trips to Artek were awarded to Moscow in 2017
Regions are given free trips to other camps, for example “Eaglet” and “Ocean”. But they are still distributed by education departments, and there are no clear criteria that are clear to schoolchildren and parents. At least in my region.
Whom do they take?
Artek accepts secondary school students from grades 5 to 11. There is also an age limit for participants in summer shifts: from 8 full years to 17 years inclusive.
The child must have achievements in education, creativity, sports and social activities. For example, he wins Olympiads in school subjects and wins dance and sports competitions.
Most of my schoolchildren's achievements are sports. They engage in tourism, orienteering and win competitions at the regional and district level. With these achievements they win trips to Artek.
How to apply for the camp
The application is submitted by the parent or the child himself. He registers on the Artek Children website, uploads certificates to his personal account and submits an application.

costs a commercial trip to Artek
To create a personal account, indicate your full name, address, school and class, and upload your birth certificate. Indicate the parents' contacts: they will be called if the child receives a ticket.
The personal account interface is not particularly friendly, but Artek employees wrote down video on how to fill out your profile correctly. If you still have questions, contact technical support: I wrote to [email protected] and my problem was solved in half an hour. Technical support phone numbers are listed in your personal account.
After registration, children upload scans of diplomas for the last three years to their personal account. There are two sections for this: “Awards” and “Other”. Diplomas from competitions where the child won prizes, individually or as part of a team, are attached to “Awards.” Less significant ones are attached to “Other” Thanksgiving letters and certificates for participation.
Check that the diploma indicates the year of the competition and the signature and seal of the organizing committee. Otherwise he will not be accepted.
After all the certificates have been uploaded, the child submits the application. To do this, he selects a shift and indicates the achievements on which the rating will be calculated.
Information about the submitted application will appear in your personal account. Moreover, the system will immediately process the information and automatically calculate the amount of points.
There is no single passing score to receive a ticket: the child competes with other children from their region who want to take the same shift. In Moscow, the average score will be higher than in the regions of the Far East.
When distributing vouchers, the system takes into account the area in which the student lives: increasing coefficients apply for children from remote villages. There is currently no exact scheme for how the rating is calculated. Since January, they began to use new coefficients when calculating points, but which ones are unknown.
How applications are reviewed
Vouchers are distributed no later than 20 days before the start of the shift. The exact dates are set by regional operators - local administration specialists. You can also find out details about the application from them.
After submission, the application may have the following statuses:
- “New” - the application is registered in the system;
- “Application accepted” - the authenticity of the achievements was checked by the regional department, everything is in order;
- “Voucher received” - the system automatically distributed the vouchers and the child received it;
- “The trip is issued” - the parents have signed all the documents, the child is definitely going to the camp.
After the application status changes to “Voucher received,” a representative from the Department of Education will call the parent. He will find out if the parent agrees to let the child go and will send the documents that need to be filled out. All that remains is to pay for air tickets, undergo a medical examination and issue a voucher.
If the application has the status “System Failure,” it means that the child did not have enough points and did not receive a ticket. Don't be discouraged - apply for another shift. Last year, my student did not pass the “World of Art” shift, but with the same rating she was accepted into the “History of Our Victory” shift. She didn't regret going.
Summer shifts are the hardest to get into - they provide the least number of vouchers.
What are the restrictions?
To apply for a trip, you will need to collect a package of documents. Full list posted on the Artek website.
Almost half of the documents on the list are medical. Before the trip, the child undergoes a commission with doctors and draws up a medical card. This must be done no earlier than 10 days before departure. You will also need a certificate of sanitary and epidemiological environment - take it no earlier than 3 days before the trip. Documents will be issued free of charge at the clinic at the place of registration.
Some chronic diseases are not accepted to the camp: for example, diabetes, epilepsy, bronchial asthma in remission for less than a year. If a child gets sick on the eve of the trip, he will also have to cancel the trip.
The child should have no contraindications to active activities. At the camp they go on excursions, go hiking and go down to caves, practice at the climbing wall, and swim. Parents sign consent for their child to participate in these activities. Parents also give the right to treat the child if necessary - they sign a consent to medical intervention.

Collecting documents for the camp was not difficult. All forms and applications were sent to us by email - we printed them out and filled them out. We went to the doctors twice: first we took tests and visited the doctors, and after a couple of days we took the completed medical book and a certificate from the pediatrician.
Two days before the trip, we were invited to the regional operator and told to take all the documents with us. There was general meeting There are only about 30 parents whose children fly to Artek. The escorts were introduced to us and all our questions were answered. Then we signed agreements on admission to Artek and issued vouchers.
How do they go to the camp?
My students flew to Artek by plane, as part of a regional delegation. Plane tickets Vladivostok - Moscow and Moscow - Simferopol were paid for by parents. It is convenient that tickets for children are booked in advance - for this, Artek has entered into an agreement with Aeroflot.
The schoolchildren had accompanying persons: three adults for 30 children. They took the group to Simferopol, to the Artek base hotel, where the children were received by counselors. After the medical examination, the children were taken by bus to Gurzuf, to the camp itself.
If you do not want to send your child with the delegation, you can take him to Simferopol yourself. Or the child can go to the camp alone - to do this, provide the child with written consent in advance to travel independently within the territory of Russia.
What to take to camp
Money. At Artek, children are taken on excursions - to the Livadia Palace, Suuk-su Palace, the Cosmos Museum, the Chekhov House-Museum and others. The tours are free, but your child will probably want to buy a souvenir. Other popular purchases include camp-themed clothing and candy sold in a vending machine.
Take small bills - there is nowhere to change money in the camp. My students spent about 10,000 R each on souvenirs and clothes with Artek symbols.
Telephone. Communication in the camp is good, Wi-Fi is available. The children themselves keep their phones, and they can call their parents at any time, except during school. They don’t have too much time to make calls, so counselors regularly post photos of children

The camp for children Artek in 2020 is strikingly different from the small sanatorium that was built in the twenties of the last century near the village of Gurzuf. Initially, the camp was planned as a hospital for children suffering from tuberculosis. Moreover, the guys from the very first shift had to live in large canvas tents, in conditions that were very far from comfortable. Today, Artek is a facility with a rather complex structure, uniting 9 camps and including several hundred different structures and buildings.
The international children's center is spread over an area of more than 200 hectares, of which half is reserved for various parks and green spaces. Besides secondary school, there are more than 40 specialized studios of scientific, technical and creative fields, tennis courts, rope parks, climbing walls, GYM's and an impressive stadium designed for seven thousand people.
