Our holiday activities offer engaging and structured group-based leisure activities for children and young people with disabilities living in Helsinki. They support guardians in balancing work or studies during holiday periods while promoting the well-being of children and families.
Activities take place on weekdays from 8.00–16.00 and are intended for children in years 1–9 who have not yet completed their basic education.
What do the holiday activities include?
The activities are diverse and engaging, planned around the children’s interests and preferences. Daily activities include indoor and outdoor play, arts and crafts, music, relaxation, and sensory experiences. The programme also features daily outdoor time, physical activities, local excursions, and social interaction with other children.
