A new nature center is located on a gravel terrace overlooking the wetlands to the west. Behind the nature center is another building that houses guests and is also the residence for several park employees. The 14,000-acre park is comprised mostly of wetlands with small, wooded islands. The park lies near the Amur River and is bordered by agricultural fields on which crops of soybeans, wheat, barley, and oats are grown. Some farmers also grow corn, primarily for silage.
Camps run from one to two weeks depending upon age of students and objectives of the camp.
The government once supported participation in summer camps, but this support no longer exists with Russia's current economic situation. The majority of Russian families cannot afford to send their children to camps either, making outside funding essential. Students also come from nearby orphanages to visit the park and to participate in the camps. This is an opportunity for these children to make friends, learn about the park and wildlife, exercise and rest. The increase in crane populations at the park has also increased the number of human visitors, who disturb foraging cranes.
