The main aim of the camp is rehabilitation of children, participation in different treatment procedures:salt room, bubble bath, swimming-pool, classes with ergotherapist and physiotherapist, massages. However, creative activities together with the parents during the camp were no less important. Also this year, there was a tradition to paint T-shirts which became a great souvenir for participants of the camp. Children were excited about painting of mugs in non-traditional manner \u2013 with nail varnishes, as well as about clay workshop where they created pleasant and memorable things. Soap-scrub and anti-stress balls from flour and balloons were also made. During free time, children could engage in games, play with their favourite toys and go to park together to swing. Thanks to the association \u201cFor Strong Family\u201d and personally to Guntars Skudra, children had an opportunity to try their skills in driving karting cars and hitting a ball in gate with huge sports shoes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEvery afternoon, participants of the camp were visited by different guests. The most interesting and exciting was the evening of \u201cphysicists and chemists\u201d organized by <\/span><\/span><\/span>SIA \u201cLaboratorium Science Theater\u201d \u2013 various experiments with dry ice and liquid nitrogen were showed. Children\u2019s eyes were shining with joy when watching something miraculous \u2013 how to inflate a balloon in a different way or how effects of smoke are arising. Satisfaction of children was boundless when, after common activities, all together could eat self-made lemon and chocolate ice-creams.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFor a second year in a row, participants of the camp were visited by SIA \u201cDeserto\u201d sand cinema. Children had an opportunity to watch a movie about Latvia, its nature, as well as to try drawing themselves. The most interesting and long expected task for children was creation of their own paintings from colourful sand by tearing adhesive papers and creating own colourful pictures.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRepresentatives from the Nature Education Centre (DIC) \u201cR\u0101zna\u201d visited the camp.
