School of counselors July. Counselor School

Working as a counselor is the basis for a future professional career. Working with children, one acquires the qualities of responsibility and independence, experience in organizing events and managing time and risks.

Students who have completed training at the School of Counselors are offered work as counselors, additional education teachers (circle leaders) and artistic directors in camps in the Moscow region, central Russia, Krasnodar or Stavropol Territories.

Graduates of the school will be able to participate in rallies, city events and advanced training programs with the best teachers of the Moscow City Tourism.

The school of counselors is held on the basis of Moscow State Pedagogical University with the support of the official partner - the State Autonomous Institution of Culture "Moscow Agency for Organization of Recreation and Tourism" (SAUK "Mosgortur").

Reviews from MSPU students about working in children's health camps "Mosgorrtura":

“I am truly happy that I had this chance. Thanks to working at the camp, this summer has become the most intense in terms of emotions. There were difficulties, of course. But what you get in return... The giving of children, their smiles and warm attitude towards you is just some kind of magic,”

- Ksenia Zhanabergenova(Institute of Humanities and Management, 2nd year)

“I absolutely love the camp environment: a busy plan for the day, constant communication with children, fun time with my colleagues. This all greatly inspires me to further develop my leadership potential in this organization.

There were difficulties, but all this will not replace the joyful smiles of the children and the generally good atmosphere in the teaching staff. There were troubles, but we survived it,”

School of Leaders. Why is this necessary?

Do you want to go to the camp, plunge into the unforgettable atmosphere of the leader’s youth and give joy to the children? Probably yes, since you are reading this page. Have you never worked as a counselor? Or maybe you are a student at a pedagogical or other university with experience working in children’s camps, and dream of expanding the boundaries of your knowledge? In any case, the School of Counselors is what you need!
In 2017, the next cycle of classes at the school of leader skills begins. Already in February, students will have introductory meetings with the active members of the pedagogical squad “A-Z Leader!”, master classes on dance animation and much more. And at the end of March the first on-site instruction of the new season will take place, and classes will be held every week, almost until the end of May.

While studying at the School of Leaders, you:

acquire new knowledge and systematize your experience;
learn to find contact with any child;
get acquainted with the developmental psychology of children and adolescents;
learn many games;
understand how to resolve any conflicts in a team;
learn to dance, speak confidently and beautifully, move and improvise on stage;
learn about the features of organizing and conducting camp events;
master the basics of first aid and tourism;
and finally, you can get a job at the camp you like - with a unique atmosphere and an excellent team!

Why exactly “A-Z counselor”?

Let's say right away: there are schools for counselors at many camps. Without them, it is impossible to prepare staff to work with the author’s program, which each camp has its own. But neither a set of lectures on counselor skills given by the best teachers, nor the best school will make you a counselor. You can become a counselor only after experiencing all the difficulties and joys of working on a shift; feeling the bitterness of parting with the children who had become family, who came to the camp as complete strangers. Nevertheless, it is possible and necessary to prepare well for work as a counselor, arm yourself with knowledge, and make friends with future colleagues. Then work will be a joy, and leadership will become a way of life. This is the goal of our School of Counselors - to prepare you as much as possible for this work.

In the “A-Z Leader” courses, theory is combined with a large number of practical exercises. Moreover, even theoretical lessons are taught in a playful way. After all, it is the one who can insist on his own, resolve the conflict, convey to the children their rights and responsibilities in a relaxed playful way, set the mood of the day and shift - he will become the best counselor for the children. At the same time, it is important for us not only to teach future counselors to play with children, but also to maintain their authority without “cheap” methods and losing their adult position.
Of course, serious subjects - such as “Child Psychology”, “Fundamentals of Conflict Management”, “Counselor as an Adult Personality” require a serious approach. But here, too, future counselors not only study theory, but also participate in practical training under the guidance of experienced teachers and psychologists.

In addition, we stage dance and stage performances. Choreography and acting skills are allocated many hours in the class schedule. Therefore, the guys on shift understand each other perfectly even without words, and on stage our leaders dance no worse than show ballet and easily perform beautiful concert numbers and witty sketches!

It’s worth mentioning separately about 2 instructional trips. These are “mini-camps” for students, where you can fully experience the camp atmosphere. The first trip, which usually takes place in March, at the beginning of training, allows you to get to know each other better. During the second trip, you get acquainted with the basics of tourism and try yourself as an event organizer. At the end of the second trip, a real exam is taken before a strict commission. It is its results that give the best students the right to work on the “Island of Heroes”.

The credo of the school “A-Z Leader”: we are preparing an ELITE of leaders. We invite students who have graduated from school to work in our camps both in Valdai and in the Moscow region. We do not trade our graduates, because the elite is distinguished not only by their level of training, but by their freedom of choice!

Conditions and cost

Our school is “conditionally” paid. Why "conditionally"? Here's what we offer during training:

Extensive program;
Each discipline is taught by a professional in his field;
Classes in rented premises with comfortable classrooms and a hall for choreography and acting training;
Bright events for unity, flash mobs and quests;
Two intensive field programs in a camp near Moscow, two days each, with round-trip transfers on large, comfortable buses.

The cost of the entire program is 6900 rubles
This price includes EVERYTHING, including accommodation at the recreation center, handouts and teaching materials and classes with teachers. In fact, students only pay for their accommodation during the intensive course. Everything else is provided by the A-Z Counselor School. The presence of payment, albeit formal, allows you to immediately weed out those whose decision to become a counselor is frivolous and spontaneous. We don’t force anyone to study, so the atmosphere in class is always wonderful!

Upon completion of the School, students receive a Certificate, and the best graduates work in our camps and excursion programs.
If you wish, you can also take part in the Ministry of Emergency Situations courses in first aid. These courses are not included in the school price. A group of people who wish to attend courses at the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia twice a year and receive an official Certificate. Counselors who hold a certificate for these courses receive an increased salary.

The counselors of our camp receive a salary according to the assigned category and the number of shifts worked, from the fourth category to the highest, first. The first category is assigned to counselors with more than 1 season of experience in the “Islands of Heroes” system if they have a certificate of completion of first aid courses.

If during the training process you realized that you do not want to be a counselor, then the ability to move, communicate freely, command the attention of an audience, dance and play with children will remain with you and will come in handy more than once in life!

From history:

“In the 90s, at Moscow State Pedagogical University there was a club “Summer”, which was engaged in training counselors and developing teaching aids for organizers of children's recreation: “How can you train counselors using modern technologies by creating a club.” The “Summer” club existed until the beginning of 2000. And today, colleagues from the regions carry the idea of the club’s work, using the forms of training counselors developed at MPGU.”

Today, MPGU is engaged in the professional training of counselors, accumulating the experience of the Russian Federation in the field of organizing recreation, being a “Mecca” of counselor skill, a counselor forge, and solving issues at the State level in providing professionally trained personnel for organizing children's recreation.
