It also highlights that they constitute a tool for equal opportunities, especially for children with fewer economic resources.

Families from the Costa i Llobera school institute expressed their disagreement with the cancellation of camps by the management and took the complaint to the Ombudsman.
Among the proposed measures, Ombudsman Esther Giménez-Salinas requests that mechanisms for recognition and compensation be established for teachers participating in outings and camps, so that these activities can be developed within an appropriate organizational and labor framework, without relying exclusively on the personal commitment of the teachers.
