Greece's Public Employment Service (DYPA) has released the definitive lists of eligible participants and those excluded from its "Children's Stays in Children's Camps Program for 2026." The announcement, made on Friday, June 12, provides clarity for families looking to utilize the subsidized summer camp opportunities.
The program is scheduled to operate from June 15 to September 10. This period is designated for children with typical development. However, for children with disabilities, specifically those with a disability percentage of 50% or more, the program's duration is extended, allowing stays until September 20.
Participants are generally allowed a maximum stay of 15 consecutive days, inclusive of arrival and departure dates. Notably, an exception is made for camps located in the municipalities of Istiaia-Edipsos and Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna, as well as camps within the Thessaly region. In these specific areas, the duration of stay can be extended up to 30 consecutive days, likely reflecting ongoing recovery efforts or specific regional needs.
Interested parties can find comprehensive details regarding the program, including terms of participation and application procedures, on DYPA's official website, www.dypa.gov.gr. The agency encourages all interested individuals to consult the website for the most up-to-date information.
