Daily activities

Hekla focuses on leisure activities. We aim to help children develop through play. Children can choose from three options daily. Activities may include outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, sports, karaoke, bingo, and other ideas from children and staff.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Hekla youth center can be found on the website of Klettaskóli
