Childrens’ Vacation Programs

The city of Tübingen provides many different vacation programs for children and teens. You should register your child as early as possible.

The programs are offered by various organizations; some for a few hours, some for day-long or week-long activities.

For some of the programs you must be registered as a resident of the city of Tübingen or the Tübingen district. You must register your child directly with the organization offering the program. For holders of the childrens’ discount cards KinderCard/KreisBonuscard-Junior there is usually a discount - in some cases a waiver - of the cost of programs.
