School counselors "Air" - Reviews

Anna Suvorova

In February 2016, I was looking for something to do in the spring, and using the World Wide Web, quite by accident I found information that the school of counselors "Air" of the pedagogical group "Apriori" is recruiting children to teach counselor skills. As a child, I was a child in the camp, and the counselors for me were always kind wizards who made these two or three weeks in the camp great! And of course, I filled out the application without hesitation! I was surprised that literally the next day they contacted me, answered all my questions, and told in detail how the training would take place. These couple of months at the counselor school flew by very quickly, because every week I waited only for Sunday to plunge into this atmosphere of celebration and childhood again. Images, communication, new friends, new discoveries, and an endless stream of pleasant impressions and emotions - this is exactly what it is worth going to the counselor school for! Unfortunately, due to some circumstances, I could not go and work a shift in the camp, which I regret ... After all, my friends from the group went for one shift together, and after several weeks they told me stories and shared their impressions. And they say without hesitation that this is only the beginning of their journey.

Stas Krainov

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Stas, and I would like to give you a couple of tips on how to decorate your spring (and if you want, then also summer, and maybe your whole life!). Almost a year ago I was toil myself without work and did not know what to do with myself. I learned from friends about the school of counselors, as expected, all went together. However, not everyone reached the last lessons, because not everyone will be able to spend a whole WEEKEND over and over again!
But then school ended, business began, work, session and UNEXPECTED, like a snow on your head, you are reminded that you need to choose a shift, take a stationery, buy something, find it, gimmick, running around. Change, some unknown children, nerves, fear, from laughter to tears, recognition, equator, joy, discos, common chants and "vnutryachki" and much, much more)
I will not grovel for a long time, but just summarize:
8 Sundays, 2 shifts, 48 loving children, 1 shift counselor.
Will I go again? Still would!
Will you go? Let's see)
Anyway, it's time to make a choice, good luck!

Why exactly "A-I counselor"?

Let's say right away: there are counselor schools at many camps. Without them, it is impossible to train personnel to work with copyright program, which each camp has its own. But neither a set of lectures on counseling skills given by the coolest teachers, nor the most best school will not make you a counselor. You can become a counselor only after experiencing all the difficulties and joys of working on a shift; feeling the bitterness of parting with their own children, who came to the camp completely strangers. Nevertheless, it is possible and necessary to prepare well for work as a counselor, arm yourself with knowledge, and make friends with future colleagues. Then work will be a joy, and counseling will become a way of life. This is the goal of our School of Leaders - to prepare you as much as possible for this work.

In the A-Z Leader courses, theory is combined with a large number of practical lessons. Moreover, even theoretical lessons are held in game form... After all, it is the one who can insist on his own, resolve the conflict, convey to the children their rights and obligations in an easy-to-play form, set the mood of the day and shift - he will become the best counselor for children. At the same time, it is important for us not only to teach future counselors to play with children, but also to maintain our authority without "cheap" methods and loss of adult position.
Of course, serious subjects - such as "Child Psychology", "Fundamentals of Conflictology", "Leader as an Adult Personality" require a serious approach. But even here, future counselors not only study theory, but also participate in practical trainings under the guidance of experienced teachers and psychologists.

In addition, we are engaged in the production of dance and stage numbers. Choreography and acting have a lot of hours in the class schedule. Therefore, the guys on shift perfectly understand each other without words, and even on stage our leaders dance no worse than a show ballet and easily make beautiful concert numbers and witty sketches!

Separately, it should be said about 2 instructional exits. These are "mini-camps" for students, where you can fully experience the camp atmosphere. The first trip, which usually takes place in March, at the beginning of training, allows you to get to know each other better. During the second trip, you will get acquainted with the basics of tourism and try yourself as event organizers. Following the results of the second exit, a real exam is passed before a strict commission. It is his results that give the best students the right to work on the "Island of Heroes".

The credo of the school "A-Ya Leader": we prepare the ELITE of the leader's staff. We invite students who graduated from school to work in our camps both in Valdai and in the Moscow region. We do not sell our graduates, because the elite is distinguished not only by the level of training, but also by the freedom of choice!

Conditions and cost

Our school is "conditionally" paid. Why "conditionally"? Here's what we offer during training:

An extensive program;
Each discipline is led by a professional in his field;
Classes in rented premises with comfortable classrooms and a hall for choreography and acting training;
Bright rallying events, flash mobs and quests;
Two intensive outbound programs in a camp near Moscow, two days each, with a roundtrip transfer on large comfortable buses.

The cost of the entire program is 6900 rubles.
This price includes EVERYTHING, including accommodation at the recreation center, handouts and methodological materials and classes with teachers. In fact, students only pay for their own accommodation during the intensive. Everything else is provided by the A-Z Leader School. The presence of even formal, but payment allows you to immediately weed out those whose decision to become a counselor is frivolous and spontaneous. We do not force anyone to study, so the atmosphere in the classroom is always great!

Upon graduation, students receive a Certificate, and the best graduates work in our camps and excursion programs.
If you wish, you can also take part in the first aid courses of the Ministry of Emergencies. These courses are not included in the school fees. A group of applicants 2 times a year takes courses at the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia and receives an official Certificate. Counselors who have a certificate for these courses receive an increased salary.

The leaders of our camp receive a salary according to the assigned category and the number of shifts worked, from the fourth category to the highest, the first. The first category is assigned to counselors with experience in the "Heroes' Island" system for more than 1 season with a certificate of first aid courses.

If, in the process of learning, you realized that you do not want to be a counselor, then the ability to move, communicate freely, hold the audience's attention, dance and play with children will remain with you and will come in handy more than once in life!
