Занятия в этих студиях интересны даже взрослым, не говоря о детях, которые принесут родителям свои рисунки и поделки из глины и бумаги, как сувениры, напоминающие о лете и радости. Вожатый прокатит детей на аттракционах, накормит обедом и не оставит скучать. А пока дети бегают и развлекаются, родители могут спокойно заниматься своими делами до самого вечера – их дети в надежных руках.
