Ministry sets 2026 Saratov camp voucher costs
The Oblast Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has approved the average cost of vouchers for children«s health camps for 2026. Based on these rates, free vouchers will be provided to children from eligible categories.
According to the standards, daily accommodation in fixed and tent camps will cost 1,506 rubles ($17 at current rates) per minor. Sending a child to a sanatorium is slightly more expensive — 1,984 rubles ($22). Additionally, standards are set for day camps. Accommodation with three meals a day will cost 382 rubles ($4), with two meals — 306 rubles ($3), and in camps with social services — 449 rubles ($5).
Free vouchers from the regional budget are available to children in difficult life situations, children from low-income families (with per capita income not exceeding 1.5 times the subsistence minimum), children under dispensary observation, and children of participants in the special military operation.
Large families are entitled to an additional support measure: they can receive 50% compensation of the average cost if they purchase a voucher on their own for a seasonal or tent camp. In 2025, nearly 400 families took advantage of this opportunity.
