Hele Oslo

The Red Cross holiday programme for the whole family, with accommodation, food and activities covered, run in several of the school holidays. This is not something you sign up for yourself: the family must be referred by NAV, the school health service or child welfare services, and the scheme is intended for families who have had a weak financial situation over time. If that is your situation, it is worth asking the school nurse or class teacher about a referral well before the holiday.

Veitvetveien 8

A circus camp at Kulturhuset Veitvet with aerial acrobatics, juggling, dance and music production, running both as a shorter mini-camp and a full week in summer, with its own programme in the autumn break. It is free but reserved for children in Bydel Bjerke, and registration goes through a form or the district's own app. This is something other than the usual ball sports, and suits children who would rather climb a rope than kick a ball.

Vulkan 5, 0178 Oslo

Gamle Oslo (og Husbergøya i Oslofjorden)

Everything is free, and if you can't afford the transit ticket to get there, the district says to get in touch and they will sort it out. The programme is reserved for children who live or go to school in the district, and the registration deadline falls long before the holiday: mid-May for summer, mid-September for the autumn break.

Bøler flerbrukshall

A free open hall for teenagers, and what makes it unusual is that it doesn't only run in summer: the hall is open during the day in the school holidays, including the winter and autumn breaks, when almost everything else free is closed.
