Summer holiday

This page is also available in: Nederlands

During the summer holidays, DONS provides an adapted program with a new theme every two weeks. DONS will stay at the schools where they are stationed and turn each location into a summer paradise. Often we’ll take the older children (7+) on a trip to a wonderful outdoor location, by bus we’ll leave the big city behind and go for fresh air and outdoor activities.

Children who come to the DONS summer location for the first time are given a tour of the site. In addition, a DONS teacher explains the rules for indoor and outdoor use. We also share what activities we have in store that day!

Our team is trained in EHBO, with extra attention being paid to ‘summer first aid skills’, such as insect bites. An extra person from the DONS team is always available as a backup, in case of an emergency. We also map out risks at the outdoor locations in advance and expand the working agreements if necessary.

More information about the Summer Holiday can be found in the Pedagogisch Didactisch Beleidsplan. For more information about the working method during the summer, a Summer Script is made every year, which can be requested from the DONS office. All DONS children receive a Summer Handbook, containing important information they need to prepare for the Summer of DONS.
