Camp as Component of Educational Curriculum

Camps are part of our education. Education beyond limits of classroom and time, a place where you can socialize with each other, share your life experience and knowledge, learn new things and know each other better. That’s what school camps give to our students and teachers.
           The main goal of our alternative education is to provide our students with necessary knowledge and skills to orientate in everyday life, make the right choice and decisions and use their opportunities and abilities in the best way. Camps are the best place to realize all this. Camps out of school but at the same time connected with school, a place where they express themselves, make their own decisions; help each other, train their soul, mind and body. Students are inspired and eager to make their camp life more interesting. Every hour is full of games, lessons which are not traditional with new methods and media. Informal and friendly atmosphere is created between teachers and students and it helps them to associate with each other easily. In camps students and teachers can do their research work, organize sport competitions, cultural events.

            The most attractive thing in our camps is school trips and excursions. During holidays students and teachers have participated in numerous trips and have been to different parts of Armenia, visiting village schools and sharing their knowledge and skills with their peers. Many students visited Artsakh to participate in Autumn Olympic camp.
            In conclusion we can state that as a result camps have become an inseparable part of our education. Students look forward to school camps and teachers do their best to make camp life more and more interesting.
