PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF STUDENT- COUNSELORS TO INTEGRATE TRADITIONAL SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION INTO THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF CHILDREN’S HEALTH CAMP

Abstract

This article examines the training of student camp counselors (future teachers) in the context of integrating 17 traditional spiritual and moral values of the Russian Federation into the educational process of children’s camps. The authors examine the transition from formal familiarization to children’s deep internalization of these values through informal education mechanisms in the camp’s social and pedagogical environment. A three-level model for developing student camp counselor axiological competence is proposed, including cognitive, activity-based, and reflective modules. The proposed model for counselor training combines a theoretical foundation with modern immersive educational technologies. The paper substantiates the thesis that camps are unique “sociocultural incubators” in which value orientations are transmitted not through classical didactics, but through the experience and joint activities of children and adults. In conclusion, it is emphasized that training camp counselors (future teachers) to integrate Russian values into the camp’s educational process is not a narrowly defined pedagogical task, but a strategic component of national education policy directly linked to the quality of socialization of the younger generation and the stability of their sociocultural identity.
