From frog to finally vacation - the success story of the holiday program
A look back at the holiday program in Villingen-Schwenningen
The holiday program in Villingen-Schwenningen has not only brought joy since its foundation in 1973, but also made a significant contribution to strengthening the community. With a variety of events and activities, the program attracts families of families at every summer hundred who are looking for opportunities to enrich their free time.
The origins of the program
The first holiday program that ran under the motto "Being not a frog, join in" was a milestone in Baden-Württemberg. It was the first of its kind in the Region and offered children the opportunity to take part in interesting day trips, for example in Wilhelma or Lake Constance. These initiatives were supplemented by a structured pick -up service in the residential areas, which made access easier for all children.
community and commitment
A decisive factor for the success of the program was the commitment of volunteers, often young people who enabled many activities with their entrepreneurship. From the beginning, the program was designed to address children from all social classes. Companies and private individuals often contributed financially to the fact that children from socially weaker families were able to participate, which promoted inclusion.
further development and adaptation
The program has been constantly expanded and further developed over the years. From 1975, for example, over 85 events have already been offered over a period of six weeks. The introduction of the “game bus” in 1978 was another innovative step and quickly became very popular. With offers such as the children's disco and circus demonstrations, the holiday program was and is an annual highlight for the young Villinger and Schwenninger.
The modern entertainment concept
Today the holiday program is known under the title "Finally vacation" and celebrates its 20th anniversary in this form. It offers over 130 events that guarantee a broad basis of activities through close cooperation with local clubs and organizations. This not only gives the children fun and play, but also insights into different professions and social engagements.
the look into the future
The Villingen-Schwenningen holiday program is an example of successful leisure activities that promotes community and integration. The city's website can access families about the events and register. In the future, the program will continue to be a central part of summer activities in the region and a valuable resource for the formation and development of young people.
