PHOTOS: Erzsébet summer camps kick off in Hungary
The foundation that runs the Erzsébet camps for children opened the summer season with a meeting of partners in Zánka, on Lake Balaton, on Saturday.
Ágnes Hornung, the state secretary for families, said the Erzsébet summer camps formed an “important element” of the government’s family policy. As well as providing support to families whose children are campers, the government has upgraded infrastructure in recent years to ensure children the latest amenities and a safe environment, she added. Hornung noted that the Erzsébet camps had hosted more than 180,000 children last year, a tenfold increase since 2012.
