The Artek camp is to receive more than 1000 children from foreign countries in the current season. It is six times more than last year, the Director of the International Children's Center, Alexei Kasprzhak, announced today.
"Starting from January, children from other countries, who participate and win competitions, contests, festivals, which are organized by Russia, will receive an opportunity to spend vacations at the camp free of charge. This year, we expect about 1200 children from other states, as well as a small number on a commercial basis,'' Tass cites him as saying.
