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.

Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or camp:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“Some of the taverns on this road, which were particularly dirty, were plainly in a transition state from the camp to the house.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
