5:00pm to 6:00pm - Dessert and ice cream followed by discussion of the projects created during the day, intellectual contests and summary of knowledge learned during the day.

We regularly study Russian language i.e. reading, writing, composition of essays and poems. We also study non-standard mathematics which helps develop skills for logic and creativity such as Mathmania, Puzzlegrams, Art lessons, etc.

As a rule, there are often children in the camp that have birthdays and we prepare plays, games and skids which develop their talents in music, dance and gymnastic exercises. Children demonstrate their abilities in front of the audience with pleasure which typically ends with a characteristic Russian and English song followed by a delicious cake with candles.

We do regular field trips to various parks, hiking places and museums and visit library for instruction lessons (twice a month). In addition, we go bowling, ice skating and roller skating and travel to Santa Barbara, Solvang, Mandalаy Beach.

On Fridays as a rule we hold a variety of athletic and intellectual contests. Children with best scores and achievements are given awards (in chess, checkers, domino, lotto, ping pong, basketball, hockey and science projects). Also on Fridays, we eat pizza and go to the movies.

Children are transported to and from the camp by their parents. In some instances, the camp owners may transport children for an additional payment.
