Abstract

This article analyzes the issue of psychological safety for children in children's health camps. The study utilized theoretical (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, modeling) and empirical (questionnaires, observation, interviews, document analysis) methods. The purpose of this publication is to develop a model for a unified psychological safety infrastructure for children in children's camps. Given that children are completely separated from their family environment during camp, the issue of ensuring psychological safety takes on particular significance. To address this issue, a unified infrastructure for psychological safety should be created in the camp, including developmental and educational programs that are interesting for children, as well as special programs that contribute to the formation and development of their social skills, training of qualified children's camp staff through periodic professional development and retraining, interaction with parents by organizing ongoing feedback through the parents' committee of the children's camp, a comfortable physical environment due to the rational organization of the camp space, and monitoring of the psychological state of children.
