About the abandoned location
Known as the Children’s Camp Emerald, it was a Soviet era summer camp located in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. It was built in the 1970s as a place for children to spend their summers and get away from the city. The camp was equipped with a pool, sports fields, and other amenities for the children to enjoy.
However, in 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred just a few miles away from the camp. As a result, the camp was permanently closed and abandoned, as the area became too dangerous for people to live in due to the high levels of radiation.
In the decades since it was abandoned, the Children’s Camp has become a symbol of the destruction caused by the Chernobyl disaster. The camp is now in a state of decay, with overgrown grass and weeds covering the grounds and many of the buildings. The pool is empty and the sports fields are overgrown. The camp’s abandoned buildings are now home to graffiti and vandalism.
Despite the decay and destruction, the Children’s Camp remains a popular destination for tourists and photographers. Visitors to the exclusion zone can still see the camp and the surrounding area, giving them a glimpse into the devastating impact of the Chernobyl disaster.
The Children’s Camp is a reminder of the lasting effects of the Chernobyl disaster and the importance of nuclear safety. It serves as a cautionary tale for future generations, and a reminder of the importance of protecting our planet and the people who live on it.
In 2020 most of the hut and surrounding areas were burned in a large fire. Learn more about the location at Chernobyl.one
