Country Children''s Camp in Historical Retrospect
The article presents a new explanatory model of a country children's camp based on Michel Foucault's concept. The author offers to consider a summer camp as an integration of four options (speech discourses, cultural practices and types of social relations): «the summer camp as a military settlement)), «summer camp as a sanatorium, summer camp as a commune», «summer camp as a dacha». Based on the analysis of materials of historical and pedagogical research and synthesis of data from different sources the author made a historical reconstruction of the origin and development of practices of country children's camps in the middle of the XIX - first quarter of the XX centuries.
