Holiday offers
Holiday programme: Now available digitally!
The city of Bocholt is expanding its digital offering: from now on, citizens can conveniently view and directly book the holiday programme and numerous exciting leisure events for children and young people online.
The new online portal offers families a clear platform for filtering activities according to interests or time periods. The desired offers can be compiled in a digital brochure format and printed out if required. In addition to the website, the leisure programme is also available on smartphones - ideal for quick access on the go. The previous printed holiday games brochure is now a thing of the past.
Everything important at a glance
Parents and children can find all the relevant information for each programme, such as dates, costs and registration options. A one-off registration is required for use. Families can keep track of the status of their registrations via their personal user account.
Funding for participation through the education and participation package
Children and young people from low-income families also have the opportunity to take part in the holiday games and holiday camps. Provided that you

your children are entitled to benefits from the education and participation package.
Children and young people under the age of 18 have a credit of €15 per month for club, cultural or holiday activities, e.g. to take part in the holiday games and holiday camps listed in this brochure or to take part in sports or music lessons. Participation in the reliable summer holiday play programmes is completely free of charge and therefore does not involve a contribution to this budget - see below for more information.
You can claim the amount for leisure and cultural activities in monthly instalments of up to 15 euros or as a total amount saved up (max. 12 months = 180 euros) for a special activity. Please always note the authorisation period.
In Bocholt, the Department of Social Affairs is responsible for public relations work in relation to the education and participation package. This also includes counselling with the aim of submitting applications and follow-up applications so that children and young people from low-income families can also take advantage of this financial support. We are also happy to provide comprehensive information on all the benefits of the education package and the Münsterland Card at clubs, schools and daycare centres.

Paying with the Münsterland Card: simple - unbureaucratic - secure
Since January 2017, anyone entitled to benefits from the education and participation package has received the Münsterland Card. Eligible children and young people use it to pay for day trips, school trips, lunches, learning support, club fees and holiday games directly on site, without paper vouchers or cash.
Whether school, club, music school, day care centre or holiday play provider: Simply show the Münsterland Card, the provider notes the data and settles the account via the Internet - quickly, easily, unbureaucratically and securely.
You can obtain the card in Bocholt from your clerk in the social services department or from your personal contact at the job centre.
All information about the Münsterland Card can be found on our topic page.
IMPORTANT: Assumption of the costs of the reliable summer holiday play programmes
The Department of Youth, Family, School and Sport of the City of Bocholt covers the costs for the reliable holiday play offers during the summer holidays for children who are holders of a Münsterland Card. This means that the credit on the Münsterland Card remains unaffected and is available for other leisure activities.
The prerequisite for this is that a copy of the Münsterland Card of the respective child is submitted as proof when registering for the holiday games with the respective provider of the holiday games.
