Greece: DYPA posts preliminary results for children's camp program

Greece's Public Employment Service (DYPA) has released the preliminary lists of beneficiaries, excluded individuals, and providers for its 2026 children's camp program. The results, posted on Friday, allow eligible applicants to submit electronic objections starting Saturday, June 6, at 11:00 AM until Monday, June 8, at 11:59 PM.

Objections must be submitted exclusively online through the gov.gr portal, under the 'Work and Insurance' section, then 'Camps,' and finally 'Public Employment Service (DYPA) Camp Programs.' Applicants need to attach supporting documents to substantiate their claims.

The program aims to subsidize children's stays in camps registered with DYPA, providing a 'Stay Voucher' as a unique electronic code. This initiative has a budget of 35 million euros and is set to accommodate approximately 70,000 children. The camp season runs from June 15 to September 10 for typically developing children, and until September 20 for children with disabilities of 50% or more.

The standard duration for stays is 15 consecutive days, including arrival and departure. However, camps located in the municipalities of Istiaia-Edipsos and Mantoudi-Agia Anna, as well as those in the Thessaly region, may extend stays up to 30 days. Further details are available on the DYPA website.
