Annual Camp Seliger
Every summer, Nashi runs recruiting camps all across Russia. New members receive a basic military-style training, according to Nashi leader Vasily Yakimenko. In July 2007, Nashi's annual camp located 200 miles outside Moscow was attended by over 10,000 Nashi members. It involved two weeks of lectures and calisthenics. Some reports mention the use of the camp to improve Russia's demographics, where twenty tents were set up in order to allow twenty newlywed couples to sleep together.

“Time that scatters hair upon a head
Spreads the ice sheet on the shaven lawn;
Signing an annual permit for the frost....”
