☀️ A summer without screens: How to keep your child engaged during the holidays in Russia
☀️ A summer without screens: How to keep your child engaged during the holidays in Russia We are continuing our June series of posts about what family life is like in Russia — especially for families with children. June marks the beginning of summer holidays for schoolchildren across Russia — a special time to take a break from classes, discover new interests, build friendships and develop independence. Russia has a well-established and diverse system of children’s summer activities designed to make holidays both: fun and meaningful. For our clients — families with children who are relocating to Russia or already living in Nizhny Novgorod — we have prepared a selection of the best summer options. With school out, it’s the perfect time for children to explore new hobbies, meet new friends, and grow more confident. Here are some of the most popular formats — from city activities to outdoor adventures 👇 ▫️Clubs and extracurricular activities in the city — sports, technology, creative workshops, and languages. Many options are available both free of charge (through local cultural centers) and as paid programs (typically from 2,000 to 10,000 RUB per month). ▫️ Day camps in the city — children arrive in the morning and return home in the evening. The programs include quests, excursions, creative workshops, and plenty of screen-free activities. ▫️Countryside summer camps — a traditional Russian summer experience lasting 2–3 weeks: nature, counselors, outdoor activities, campfires, and new friendships. Prices usually range from 25,000 to 60,000 RUB per session. ▫️A special option for international families: if your child is still learning Russian, there is no need to worry. Language camps (including English-speaking programs) and international sessions help children feel safe, adapt gradually, and become comfortable in a new environment. At OKA Agency, we help families make their relocation experience smooth and comfortable. Need assistance choosing a summer program or a school in the Nizhny Novgorod region? We are here to help! How do your children prefer to spend their summers — in Russia or abroad? Share your experiences in the comments. We would love to hear from you! ✔️️Subscribe to the OKA Agency: We make you fall in love with Nizhny Novgorod More information on our website!
