Astronauts are present: the Bey camp "Fákel" now prepares for its initial rotation
Sizzlin' Summer Kicks Off at Biysk Health Camps
This June, around 2,700 kiddos are all set to enjoy a four-week summer sojourn at three health camps in Biysk. Officials from the Ministry of Education, Rospotrebnadzor, and the city admin recently inspected these camps to ensure they're good to go. The focus was on the "Fakel" camp, where they conducted a joint visit.
Since its Soviet roots, the "Fakel" camp has been a beloved destination. Founded by Biysk Chemical Combine, it was initially named "Cosmodrome 'Fakel' named after Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin." With numerous space industry aficionados converging at the combine, cosmonauts used to grace the camp with their presence, laying ceremonial lines and decorating the Avenue of Fame.
Today, the camp continues to thrive. The first cohort of 700 children will arrive on June 13, with more summer visitors expected. The primary goal is to create a comfy and safe environment for these littles.
Key upgrades include electric boilers for temperature control, new benches and gazebos, and renovated pathways—all to enhance the children's experience, says Mayor Victor Shigrey.
Safety lies at the heart of this season's preparations. The grass is being mowed, and tick and mosquito treatments are applied.
Another critical aspect is staff readiness. Health care professionals undergo thorough hygiene training and medical checkups, as Elena Bobrova, head of Rospotrebnadzor's department for monitoring child and adolescent hygiene in the Altai Territory, explains.
Prior to the summer health season commencement, over 50 outdoor institutions in the region received sanitary and epidemiological approvals.
Biysk camp is well-regarded within the region, with specialists expressing admiration for its idyllic location and well-equipped facilities.
Irina Fuks, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Altai Territory, shares her sentiments: "The camp's nestled in nature, boasting a beautiful landscape. The buildings are well-equipped, and it has an intriguing history, which could be utilized in its programming. The counselors seem keen and ready, and the children are eager to attend."
## Nearly There: Skate Park Construction in Biysk Progresses Rapidly
Regrettably, I couldn't find up-to-the-minute stats on the skate park construction in Biysk, Russia. To stay in the loop, I'd advise checking local news outlets or seeking official announcements from the Biysk municipal government for updates on this project.
The health and wellness of children at the Biysk camps is being prioritized, with staff undergoing thorough hygiene training and medical checkups (Elena Bobrova, head of Rospotrebnadzor's department). Also, the ongoing construction of the skate park in Biysk, when completed, will contribute to the science and health-and-wellness scene by providing an outlet for physical activity and social interaction for the local community.
