Belova N. I., Naumova N. N., Shvareva I. S.

the article discusses the problems of developing environmental ethics among participants of the summer environmental camp "School of nature", organized on the basis of the national Park "Meshchera". Environmental ethics formulates the ideals of harmonious interaction between man, society and the biosphere. The philosophical basis of environmental ethics is the idea of a person as a part of the biosphere, forced to take into account the laws and restrictions of the whole – the biosphere. One of the most important tasks facing noospheric ethics is the moral education of an ecological person who is consciously ready to perform the main biospheric functions of regulatory, reparative, and anti-crisis, thereby contributing to the preservation and further development of the biosphere. For ten years the camp "School of nature" developed more curricula, training materials, specified methods of work, contributing to the development of environmental ethics among all participants of the camp. The most effective pedagogical technology that creates conditions for self-formation of the system of ecological and moral values of the individual is the pedagogical workshop.
