TOSummer arrives, schools close and for working parents this period turns into a nightmare. To help them there are summer camps, a boon for mum and dad who, however, have to contend with higher prices this year.
Children’s holidays at the time of inflation, however, they worry families who, by force of circumstances, will be forced to review their summer plans this year due to the increase in the cost of living.
Inflation and parents grappling with the holidays
This was revealed by a new research conducted by Trustpilot, the global review platform, which revealed that this year 64% of Italian parents will have to reschedule holiday spendinga figure that is part of an already very difficult general situation in which two out of three Italians find it difficult to bear the financial costs of parenthood throughout the year.

Summer camp bonuses
But since summer camps are truly a fundamental resource both for working parents and for those families who for economic reasons are unable to take their children on holiday, INPS has published the new call for tenders to obtain an economic contribution, the so-called summer camp bonus. The facilitation, however, is not for everyone but only for those who have specific requisites which are those of being children of employees or pensioners of the Public Administration aged between 3 and 14 years.
More costs to entertain the children
The data emerging from the survey show that 35% of Italian parents expect that they will have to spend more to entertain their children and their main concerns concern the time children spend in front of a screenfind alternatives to defeat boredom e the cost for the recreational activities for them to practice.
