Congratulations to all camp counselors on their professional holiday!
This date was established in 2012 during the International Festival of Children's Centers.
The position of squad counselor was first introduced on June 24, 1927, at the All-Union Pioneer Camp "Artek". This event laid the foundation for the formation of the institute of counselors in the system of children's recreation and education in the Commonwealth countries.
The most important and significant adult for the children in the camp is the counselor. It is he who is entrusted with solving the main tasks in organizing the summer recreation of children and adolescents: developing creative, intellectual potential, maintaining and improving health, and developing social competencies.
Our library collection contains publications that reveal various aspects of the profession - from its history to methods of working with children, organizing leisure and safety issues in children's camps.
- Professional ethics and communicative culture of a camp counselor: methodological recommendations;
- The history of the counselor's business: methodological recommendations.
