The idea
A trip is prepared long before setting off.
For many children and young people in the neighbourhood, a trip is the first time away without their family. That’s no small thing — for them or for their parents. That’s why the preparation matters as much as the trip itself.
The group is formed several months in advance. The young people help choose the destination, plan the budget and take part in fundraising. Families meet before departure to learn about the programme, supervision and practical arrangements.
-
A group formed in advance
The preparation lets participants get to know each other before setting off.

Fundraising
Sales, stalls, services: the young people fund part of the trip.

Qualified staff
A declared team, regulation staffing ratios, an incident protocol.

Trips & mini-camps
Outings and trips prepared with the families.
Depending on the period, the team organises outings, short trips or travel projects. Dates, age groups, places and prices are confirmed before registration.

Frequently asked questions
A question? Let’s clear it up.
From what age can children go?
It depends on the trip: mini-camps are for the youngest, longer trips for teenagers. The team states the required age when each project is announced.
How much does it cost?
What you pay is calculated using the family quotient, after deducting the part funded by group fundraising. The exact amount is given before you commit.
How do we get news during the trip?
The arrangements are explained at the information meeting: the team’s contact details on site, call times and, depending on the trip, photos being posted.
My child has never been away without us.
That’s the case for many. Tell the team: the group preparation and the family meeting are there precisely to ease these worries, on both sides.
Do I need to join the Centre Social?
Yes. A family membership of €8 covers the whole household for the year and gives access to the Centre’s activities.
