The City Youth Welfare Office has started planning the summer holiday program "Where to go on vacation?" by writing to its existing cooperation partners. However, new partners are of course also welcome to contribute their ideas. This year's program will once again provide children and young people aged 6 to 18 and their families with a varied, creative and reliable range of vacation activities. There is one important innovation: for the first time, the vacation care will also be provided within the framework of the All-Day Support Act (GaFöG). This means that the vacation offers are becoming even more important - as educational, leisure and childcare spaces at the same time.
Another new feature is that the Youth Welfare Office is not only planning for the summer vacations, but also for the fall vacations. Cooperation partners can therefore submit their offers for both vacation periods. The summer vacations run from June 29 to August 9, the fall vacations from October 5 to 16. Please note that the circus camp in Staden will exceptionally take place in the fifth week of the summer vacation. No offers are to be scheduled for this period.
Thanks to the funding applied for, the City Youth Welfare Office will probably be able to take over a large part of the financing of the measures as usual. This means that the cooperation partners generally only incur low costs. However, the GaFöG will change the cost planning and structure. The administration is currently developing suitable calculations and is therefore asking the cooperation partners to provide as much detail as possible about the cost planning for their offers.
