I have been wanting to write a review like this for a long time, but somehow I never got around to it. I think it's time to bring people information about the Kakadu camp. One of the three so-called new generation camps. What is the idea behind this camp? In all official publications, they boast that in Kakadu children have freedom of choice, children themselves decide what and when they will do. Everything seems to be so smooth and interesting, so what's the catch then? And here's the catch. . . Of course, you can simply read billions of positive reviews from children - they simply cannot be missing if anything is allowed in the camp - this is in the truest sense of the word. Going to bed at one or two in the morning? No problem. . . otherwise you can not sleep all night long, the counselors will not say a word. And all why? Yes, because the administration is afraid. After all, at every planning meeting they say - you have no right to say anything bad to children, what the child wants - to do it in an instant. Wanted to play the fool in front of the administration building? Kids go!! ! The main thing is that all children know the instruments! No, no, this is not about how to properly handle a hammer or a saw. . In the Kakadu camp there are several tools for educating a child, from the outside it resembles a sect, much like Jehovah's Witnesses, only in a children's camp. The unfortunate counselors go and masturbate, so that every evening for an hour the children would be told some kind of crap, read some strange parables. From my own experience, I was convinced that children simply do not perceive this nonsense. And how to perceive it, if within two or three days at the school of counselors, these instruments were read to the counselors, they were told to memorize and recite by heart. At school, counselors are not taught how to properly provide first aid, or how to resolve a conflict in a children's team. It’s just that the output is an army of sextant-minded guys who absolutely do not have the minimum base necessary for working with children, but they can tell by heart that all children are free, but any freedom has limits, that everyone makes their choice and bears for this choice responsibility. These are, of course, very wise phrases, but sorry - this is not what you need to work with children. . When the leaders are fed with what the children haven’t eaten, and then they kindly offer to pack their suitcase if they suddenly find out that the leader went to buy food during a quiet hour. Those who watched the fifth Harry Potter will understand. Remember the woman who went all in pink and worked in the Ministry of Magic. There, Dumbledore escaped and she became the headmaster of Hogwarts - all so cute to the point of nausea. The administration of the Kakadu camp is very reminiscent of this woman. If you do not want your child to return as a distraught fanatic and, upon arrival, do whatever you want absolutely without listening to you - do not send him to this camp!
