Ways to Visit Kitezh and Orion

New Russian Language Courses at Orion

Volunteering
Usually two months or longer, this is a great opportunity to become immersed in Kitezh life, work with children, teach English and other creative activities. Especially useful for Russian language students to perfect their language skills.

Short Visits
Visitors from Moscow who wish to visit for a few days or a weekend should arrange your trip with our representative in Moscow kitezhcentre@yandex.ru. Kitezh is 4 hours by car from Moscow, 6 hours by bus. Orion is closer, about two hours from Moscow by car.

Spirit of Russia Group Experience
This will appeal specially to Godparents and friends and supporters who would like to travel in a group and are only able to visit Kitezh for a short time with a couple of days sightseeing in Moscow. If you would like to join our Spirit of Russia Group or create one of your own at another time of year, do contact us.

“The visit to Kitezh was the highlight of the year for me. I have told so many people about it and how truly inspired I was by all that is happening there – what you are doing, how the children are flourishing, what a model it has become. It is such a wonderful place and all the arrangements from the sight-seeing in Moscow to the ride to Kitezh to the stay in the Guest House were everything I had hoped for and more.”
