Creativity, fun and adventure at the Tro Kids Club - TroGroup offers a varied holiday programme
Wels, 3rd September 2024. Anything but boring. The summer holidays often present working parents with major challenges. In order to provide its employees with the best possible relief during this time, the TroGroup has organised a two-week holiday programme this summer. From 19 to 30 August 2024, over 20 children aged 3 to 12 were looked after at the ‘Tro Kids Club’. In cooperation with partner organisation High Jump, the children were offered a particularly varied holiday programme focusing on creativity, sport and games at two different locations in Wels and the surrounding area. Exciting excursions, such as to the Grünau Wildlife Park, Spital am Pyhrn or an alpaca hike, rounded off the eventful days.
Discovering stamps and lasers in a fun way
The company day, which took place every Friday at the TroGroup headquarters in Wels, was a special highlight. The children were given a playful insight into the fascinating world of Trodat and Trotec stamps and lasers at various stations. For example, they were able to decorate biscuits with the Trodat Cookie Stamp and watch live as their names were engraved on drinks coasters using the Trotec laser. Additional fun was provided by a bouncy castle and various play stations. A surprise for the parents was homemade smoothies, which the children had previously prepared in the company bistro. The grand finale was a photo review and the ceremonial awarding of certificates to the ‘Tro Kids’ for their participation in the holiday programme.
‘As a family business, it is important to us to provide parents with the best possible childcare during the summer holidays. We know how difficult it can be to find a good childcare solution and are delighted that we were able to offer a reliable and varied holiday programme thanks to the generous support of our owners. We want to enable working parents to achieve a good work-life balance during the summer holidays while their children have an eventful time,’ says TroGroup CEO Bernd Badurek. Due to the positive feedback - from both parents and children - the Tro Kids Club will once again offer plenty of fun and games in summer 2025.
