Our address in Kuchugury: Krasnoflotskaya street, building 40. The territory for the camp was selected very carefully, and we are not going to change it, despite the fact that proposals are regularly received to hold the camp in another place. Just imagine! In the guest yard there are only 24 rooms with all amenities: toilet, shower, air conditioning, TV, refrigerator. During the camp period we reserve all the houses, that is, only we will occupy the territory. This is very important, because on vacation there are often conflicts between families with children with autism and other vacationers. We have tried to create a comfortable welcoming environment for our guests. Hosts guest yard– older people, pensioners, have been hosting our camp for several years now, during this time they have seen everything, they understand everything.
The yard is shady, there is a lot of greenery, each family has its own separate entrance. On the territory there is a sandbox, a swing, a trampoline, a green lawn for games, a fountain, a dining room and a kitchen where you can cook and have organized meals (imported meals 3 times a day). You don’t have to order food, but cook it yourself. There are all conditions for this. The shared kitchen is very good, you can cook for the whole family: there are 2 refrigerators, 3 stoves, a microwave, 2 sinks, and a lot of utensils for cooking. Almost every room (except two) has a small outdoor terrace with a table and chairs. The territory of the guest yard is closed, there is video surveillance, a combination lock. 5-10 minutes to the sea.
