The time for booking trips to children’s health camps has almost come to an end. However, as MK writes, many parents, having seen the prices for children’s holidays in the camp, began to massively refuse vouchers.
As writes the edition, the prices for rest have grown almost twice. Most of all, the Russians are upset that they removed the money-back program for children’s holidays, the cashback system that was in effect in 2021 and 2022.
As the mother of twins, a resident of St. Petersburg, Ekaterina, told MK, the price tag has now increased, but if there was this program, it would not be so scary. Now it is very expensive to send children even for one shift. According to her, in 2022, after returning under this program, the family could send two children on vacation for less than 50 thousand rubles, and now it is more than 100 thousand rubles.
In the Ivanovo region in 2022, the camp cost 20 thousand rubles per child. in 21 days, and already this year it will cost 30 thousand rubles, but in 14 days.
Mom Gulnur from the Moscow region said that the camp in the Moscow region – one shift, 21 days – costs 48,300 rubles. According to her, a year earlier the price tag was 42,700 rubles. plus 20% cashback. “There is another camp next to us, but this summer its cost is 68,000 rubles,” she complained. “The prices are space, for whom such camps are, it is not clear.”
The mother of three children, Elena from Moscow, said that for them, sports camps have recently become a pipe dream. According to her, before the training camps were held on the basis of the sports school, but now they have started to do field training camps, and it costs from 55 thousand rubles. per child for two weeks, excluding the cost of the road.
Another parent also said that her son plays football, from the club they offer in Sochi for 10 days – 80 thousand rubles. plus the road at your own expense. If the child is under eight years old, then accompanied by their parents, and this is another 50 thousand.
As for families with many children, they are given free vouchers to children’s camps, but without a choice.
