I remember my trips to this camp with the warmest feelings. I was terribly scared and offended when my parents brought me to the children's camp for the first time, to the 6th squad, but then, until the very first squad, I waited for several years for summer to finally come and I would go to Chatkal.
Violetta was the best counselor, and I was also in the Brigade, where I was playing curling iron in the radio room during a quiet hour and was friends with Pumbaa. 1997 😍
The camp is wonderful, despite all the bad reviews, it turned out not to be so bad, perhaps because of the change of director. The food is 50/50, sometimes like. The counselors are great, although there was one hysterical teacher. There were also quite a few circles, so it was not realistic to sit there without free time, they took 20k steps a day, one minus, their knees hurt a lot in the morning, but they managed to lose weight. The team was good, both girls and boys, they all played something together every day, and I found a very close friend in this camp. In general, the camp is good, it gave an incredibly lot of emotions. 11 squad, 1 shift in the heart, it won't get any better. Miss Nigora is the best counselor.
I don't know what you liked about the camp, but for me, who went there last year, it was not a good experience, for example: the whole structure is old and then okay there is no shower and sediment remains in the pool, all local products (cutlets, meatballs, etc.) are not cooked to no entertainment, the medical staff is very rude especially the nurses and the last bed is terrible.
