The increase in the share and importance of leisure in the life of society and of an individual stimulates research and practical interest in studying the theory and practice of organizing summer leisure for children in historical retrospective. The developed methodology for retrospective analysis made it possible to distinguish three stages in the development of forms of summer leisure, depending on the participation of the state in its organization, to reveal their main content and specificity. The stated research problem was solved by attracting a variety of sources: regulatory documents, scientific research, the analysis of which allowed us to highlight the normative canon, and the use of memoirs, fiction, periodicals, empirical data made it possible to generalize the sociocultural practices of children's summer leisure. The author concludes that the more accessible the new forms of leisure, the less free space for children to choose in these normative forms.
