Three weeks in Artek
Artek is an international children center on the Black Sea in the town of Hurzuf located on the Crimean peninsula, near Ayu-Dag. It was established on June 16, 1925.
The camp first hosted only 80 children but then grew rapidly. In 1969 it had an area
of 3.2 km². The camp consisted of 150 buildings, including three medical facilities,
a school, the film studio Artekfilm, three swimming pools, a stadium with a seating
capacity of 7,000, and playgrounds for various other activities. Unlike most of the
young pioneer camps, Artek was an all-year camp, due to the warm climate.
