In this article, the question of the role of children's camps in the development of the child is studied. The organization of children's recreation and their recovery is a social phenomenon in which the process of purposeful upbringing and development of a child can be organized most effectively. Such a state and situation of the institutions organizing this rest and recreation became possible due to a decrease in the educational and developmental functions in the school education system and its centering on education proper. The upbringing of a healthy and comprehensively developed young generation is one of the primary tasks in our country. Children's tourism services are very specific,
because they are aimed at performing various functions: educational, therapeutic, recreational, developmental, educational, informational, educational, patriotic, socialization of the individual. The content of the camp depends not only on the knowledge about the child, his capabilities, requests and needs for organized recreation, but also on the existing infrastructure, natural conditions and the location of the camp itself. A lot of attention is currently paid to the additional education of children, therefore, children's leisure during the vacation period becomes one of the ways to
implement additional education. Children's health camp has long been a familiar way of spending summer holidays for children and teenagers. However, at the moment there are many alternative options for organizing recreation and development of children. In this regard, there is a need to study the role of a children's health camp in organizing leisure activities for children and adolescents.
