Young Pioneer camp

In the 20th century these camps existed in many socialist countries, particularly in the Soviet Union.

The Young Pioneer camps of the Soviet Union were the place of vacation for children from the Young Pioneer organization of the Soviet Union during summer and winter holidays.

The first All-Union Young Pioneer camp, Artek was formed on June 16, 1925.

The main Young Pioneer camps of the Soviet Union were All-Union Young Pioneer camp Artek (near Gurzuf), republican camps: Orlyonok (near Tuapse, Russian SFSR, opened in 1960), Okean (near Vladivostok, Russian SFSR, opened in 1983), Molodaya Gvardiya camp [uk] (near Odessa, Ukrainian SSR) and Zubryonok [ru] (in Minsk Oblast, Byelorussian SSR).

It was very difficult to apply for accommodation to the main camps, especially to Artek, as they were very popular.
