October 18 is Father's Day in Russiatranslated

October 16, 2026 · 1 min read

This holiday, although it received official status only in 2021, has already become an important part of family traditions.

On October 15, in the preschool department 10 of the municipal educational institution "Children's Secondary School" in the school preparatory group "Fidgets" a "Fascinating hike" took place with dads.

Every child dreams of going on a hike with dad, pitching a tent, catching fish, making a fire, cooking and sitting with dad together, talking and speculating about something important...

The students and their dads had an immersive trip. A lot happened for real: obstacles on the road were overcome, fish were caught, fish and vegetables were cooked in a pot, speed and dexterity were demonstrated. During the campaign, it was necessary to show not only strength qualities, but also the ability to negotiate, work in a team, and help juniors. The guys, together with their dads, completed all the tasks, and at the end of the trip everyone deserved commemorative medals.

Together with our children and their dads, the guest of honor, a father of many children, priest Dimitry Pishcherkov, responsible for motherhood and childhood issues in the Volokolamsk district, went on a “campaign”. Father Dimitri, together with everyone else, overcome the “hardships” of camp life.
