Our subsidised vacations and camps

We organize subsidised holidays for dual-culture families in collaboration with Maaseudun Terveys- ja Lomahuolto ry (MTLH). The subsidised holidays are granted primarily on financial, health-related, and social grounds to individuals who have not previously received a subsidised holiday. The holiday organisations make the selections independently, taking into account the dates of previous holidays and the number of holidays received by the applicants.

The subsidised holidays include meals such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. The holidays also feature shared guided programs and group-based childcare. A volunteer peer family from Familial participates in the holidays, providing informal peer support and community-building activities for the participants.

Our subsidised holidays for families in 2025 are:

• Autumn holiday: peer holiday for intercultural families 13.-18.10.2025 at Lohja Spa & Resort.

​
We also organise camps in Hauhon Lomakeskus together with Lasten Kesä ry. More information about our camps and how to apply for them on this page (please see below).
