Short Overview: Registration, Allocation, Rules

The city of Traunstein centrally and transparently manages the 2025 holiday program. Online registration was possible from 26.05. to 07.07.2025; allocation was done fairly according to a priorities list. From July 7, the allocated events were confirmed by email with a signed event pass – this email serves as an “admission ticket”.

• Registration period: 26.05.–07.07.2025 (online, priorities selectable)
• Allocation: fair by wish list; event pass via email
• Cancellation/refund: Cancellations less than 24 hours before start are usually only refundable with a doctor’s certificate

Note: Shortly before the event, check the details (place, time, what to bring) stated in the confirmation email. Details may change.

Highlights: Circus, Sports, and Creative Workshops

Two circus weeks are the crowd-pullers in 2025: balance, acrobatics, music – but even more, courage and confidence grow. Additionally, sports trial courses introduce team sports and outdoor experiences. Anyone who works with their hands will find workshops full of ideas: crafting, building, painting, snapping photos, cutting – and of course tinkering.

Sample Creative Week

• Period: 04.–08.08.2025, each day 08:00–16:00
• Age: 8–12 years
• Location: central education workshop near Bahnhofstraße
• Fee: €50
• Content: crafting, building, photography, experimenting, tinkering, upcycling

Why this is important: Such workshops strengthen fine motor skills, teamwork, and problem-solving ability. For parents, clearly structured all-day formats are easy to plan; for kids, it creates a safe space where their own ideas can flourish.

Digital Discoveries: 3D World, 3D Printing, VR

A public digitization or maker environment in Traunstein offers beginner workshops for different age groups in August. Adolescents from 12 years design and program their own 3D worlds, which can be experienced with VR glasses. Younger kids (from 10 years) get started with 3D printing – from idea to the first object.

• Dates (selection): 11.08., 14.08., 25.–28.08., 26.–27.08.
• Formats: Programming and designing 3D worlds (from 12 yrs.), introduction to 3D printing (from 10 yrs.)
• Extra: 3D animation workshop on 11.08.2025 (from 12 yrs.) at the Traunstein location
• Registration: depending on the date via the relevant offices/municipalities

Practical relevance: During the 2024 Easter holidays, four-day maker days (08:00–16:00) were tested for ages 8–12 with 3D printing, programming, stop-motion, as well as wood/LED projects – including a final presentation. This makes technologies tangible and motivates beyond the holidays.

Workshops for Crafting, Tinkering, and Upcycling

Breadth instead of niche: Traunstein’s holiday program focuses on sensory experience, handicraft, and sustainability. Upcycling shows how favorite pieces can be made from leftovers – kids learn patience, resource awareness, and the fun of repeating until something works.

• Advantages: Sensory experience, fine motor skills, teamwork
• Methods: Project work, free choice of stations, feedback loops
• Results: Tangible objects, small exhibitions, joint presentations

Service: Tips for Registration and Planning

• Keep deadlines in mind: Registration for 2025 ran until 07.07.; for future years, get information early, prepare your wish list, set priorities.
• Secure event pass: Check confirmation email, save/print it – it’s important for admission.
• Prepare a plan B: Popular offers (e.g. circus weeks, digital workshops) fill up quickly. Note alternatives, use waiting list.
• Note cancellation rules: Last-minute cancellations are usually only refunded with a doctor’s note – this keeps places available and organization fair.
• Day structure: All-day formats (e.g. 08:00–16:00) ease family logistics. Clarify drop-off/pick-up; adjust catering/clothing to the program.
• Mix interests: Variety from sports, crafting, tinkering, and digital keeps motivation high.
• Use technology: VR, 3D printing, first programming experiences – prior knowledge not necessary, curiosity counts.

Economically, the offer strengthens the region (care assurance, skills development), socially it creates encounters – and for children, it simply feels like summer: creating something of your own, laughing with others, learning new things.
