Peer holidays for adults and families with children
The objective of the holidays is to provide the holidaymakers with peer support and an opportunity to take a break from their daily lives. Recreational activities, rest and peer support increase the involvement and resources of the holidaymaker. On the holidays for families with children, the parents get to have time to themselves in order to do things together.
Peer holidays for adults do not include assistance services. If necessary, holidaymakers should bring their own assistant or support person. More information can be found under the section Assistance during your holiday.
During family holidays, parents have the primary responsibility for their children.
