Which is better? Which is more suitable for the integral principle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 It depends on the level of the kids\u2019 preparation. I don\u2019t think we should go for anything big in the beginning. We need small groups where everyone understands the goal we want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the educators, it is necessary to prepare the staff that will service the place. These people have to go through excellent training so they behave correctly with one another and understand what the setting and spirit in this camp has to be like. It is a place where a child becomes immersed in a completely different setting for perhaps several months, and even before that, prior to the trip, he is taught to be connected to others by creating the right virtual community, whose members support and help one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This does not require big children\u2019s camps. We have to progress with small groups, small communities that will become fully ready to assemble into a large community, while not losing the right orientation toward everyone. But we have to start with small groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Should children who come to this kind of camp be prepared ahead or can they go through a \u201ccrash preparation\u201d on the premises? Or, can the camp itself be a preparation for further activity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 It depends on how long the camp will be. If you accept a child for two or three months, then you can accept anyone. For example, suppose there are 50 children. These 50 children are divided into five groups that sometimes work like five groups and sometimes merge together. But many parameters must be taken into account: Are the children similar in age, social origin, and mentality? If they match according to their external, domestic parameters, then in two or three months you will be able to turn any child into something new. In this case, you can accept any child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s preferable to have a backbone. Besides the educators, it\u2019s good to have children who are already prepared. It\u2019s like yeast that will provide a completely different formation, a product of the right fermentation, which will eventually have the necessary consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s necessary to have two teachers for every 10 children, and it\u2019s necessary to have at least one \u201csenior\u201d group among these 50 children, meaning children who are already prepared. Then there will be no problem accepting any children there. The \u201cseniors\u201d will quickly set all the others in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2013 There are several types of camps\u2014huge camps, with thousands of children, or small, local, summer or winter camps.
