The camp was established in 1925 and received about 27,000 children a year at its peak.

As well as honorary guests, including Yuri Gagarin, the world's first astronaut, Frank Burman (retired colonel of the US Air Force and NASA astronaut), André Good (French writer and Nobel prize laureate in 1947) and others.
