Summer Services 2025

All the news ahead of the opening of registrations

Also for summer 2025, the City of Bologna has prepared for the period of suspension of educational and school activities, from June to September, a wide range of opportunities for families.
The model provides for a mixed offer of summer services affiliated with the City of Bologna:

• Nursery school in July: three weeks in July for girls and boys already enrolled in municipal services or under an agreement/concession;
• Summer camps for the 3-14 age group by managers identified with public procedures and included in a specific list;
• Schools open all year round in first grade secondary schools for the 11-14 age group;
• Weekly summer stays for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 17;
• Summer opportunities for children with disabilities attending secondary schools.

Open Day

All the offers available for the summer period will be presented to the city and families during an open day scheduled for Saturday, April 12 in Piazza Lucio Dalla: during the day, each summer service manager will have the opportunity to present their educational project and families will be able to receive all the information necessary for registration and to submit the application for contribution.

Application for a contribution

From 2 pm on April 3 to 11:59pm on 24 April 2025, if you have an Isee of up to 35,000 euros, you can apply for a contribution to participate in summer camps and schools open all year round: the contribution is 100 euros per week, for a maximum of 300 euros in total for each participant.

Registration for Summer Camps

First phase: sending the application

From 1 pm on 14 April until 11:59pm on 28 April 2025 you can apply online to enroll in summer camps affiliated with the Municipality for those aged 3 to 14:

• access the online form on this Iperbole page with SPID;
• choose summer weeks and camps;
• send the question.

What's new this year:

• you have more time to dedicate to enrollment and a single call for all age groups;
• you can submit only one application for each son or daughter: any subsequent applications for registration, even if sent within the opening deadline of the call, will be canceled;
• you can choose up to two alternative summer camps for each shift of attendance;
• you can save the application in a draft and then modify it: after the final submission, you can make more changes;
• by sending the application you will receive via email a link and a requesting code that you will need for confirmation in the next phase;
• for all applications for registration of sons/daughters belonging to the same registry unit, I would receive a single requesting code;
• sending the application for registration in this first phase does not give any priority or precedence over the order in which the applications submitted are accepted: the applications will be ordered according to the date and time of submission only in the next phase (from 5 to 9 May).

Second phase: confirmation of the application

From 1 pm on May 5 until 11:59pm on May 9, 2025, you must confirm your registration by connecting to the link you received via email when sending the application:

• connect to the link;
• enter the requesting code;
• then print the receipt.

In the case of several questions that relate to the same registry unit, the requesting code will be associated with the same time and the same date of submission for all applications for registration of the same registry unit. If between 5 and 9 May you do not confirm the previously submitted application for enrollment, the request will not be completed and you will not be able to access the Summer Camps.
Boys and girls with disabilities always take precedence: it is still necessary to register during the opening period of the call to request educational support and facilitate the programming of resources useful for the implementation of the inclusion project

Assignments and additional enrollment applications

The first Summer Camp assignments will be from 20 to 22 May.
Starting from May 23, you can submit additional applications to enroll in Summer Camps and even those who are not resident in the Municipality of Bologna can apply: at this stage you can submit questions only on the places that may be available, indicating only one preference for each week chosen

.

Schools open all year round

Schools open all year round are an important opportunity for boys and girls (11-14 years old) to experience first grade secondary school in an engaging and innovative way, during the summer but also throughout the school year, to which all 22 comprehensive institutions in the city of Bologna have joined.
The activities will take place from June 9 to July 18. Some institutions will also offer activities from September 1 to 12.
You can enroll your daughter/daughter directly at the school attended, from April 14 to May 9: a total of 2820 places are available

, divided into weekly shifts.

Summer stays

This summer, the first trial of weekly summer stays begins for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 17 who have attended at least the first year of secondary school. The stays are offered by travel agencies specialized in the sector that use educational staff to carry out activities at the proposed destinations.
The offer, limited to those who have joined this first experimental edition, will be published on the website of the City of Bologna at the same time as that of the summer camps, on a dedicated page. Families can apply for contributions by accessing the appropriate call online, which will be published at the same time as the publication of the stays. The deadline for registrations will be May 9.

Inclusion

The experimentation of the inclusion model for boys and girls with disabilities has been confirmed, which involves a team of educators that collaborates with that of the summer camp manager, the qualification of the reception, the assignment of a total number of hours per week assigned in compliance with the individual needs detected.
The possibility of attending, with the provision of a special contribution, also qualified private summer camps, not included in the municipal list, whose educational project is consistent with the offer of the Municipality of Bologna, is also confirmed

.

Proposals for girls and boys 14-19 years old with disabilities

Also for summer 2025, the City of Bologna presents a list of managers who offer 14/19 activities for children with disabilities. You can request a contribution for three weeks of attending a center even if it is located outside the municipal territory.
