These holidays are organised together with Eläkeliitto the Finnish Pensioners’ Federation districts. You do not have to have a valid district membership in order to apply for the holidays. Those living in the area of the particular district are primarily selected for the holidays.
The holidays are “Senioriloma 60 v. +” which means that they are intended for applicants aged 60–74. The age limits are guidelines only.
The objective of the holidays is to offer the elderly an opportunity to take a break from their daily lives, increase their social interaction and engage in recreational holiday activities. The holiday activity programme contains lectures and guided group discussions, a fitness test and test feedback, guided exercise and other holiday activities.
