HOPE CAMP

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The camp is organized by Smolensk regional public youth organization Rassvet-S on the base of a rehabilitation center for children and youth Cherry. The center was opened in 1981 as a children’s health-improving camp. Since 2006 it became a rehabilitation centre for children. Every year the center hosts about 3000 children. The children come there for rehabilitation for different periods from 3 weeks till half a year. There are children with different kinds of disabilities: with infantile cerebral paralysis and other physical and mental disabilities. This year the camp celebrates its 10th anniversary.
