With such a wide variety of Stayokay camp locations, there’s something for everyone. That’s the advantage of having 22 Stayokay locations. All Stayokay hostels have one thing in common: they’re the perfect place for groups to truly come together and where lifelong friendships begin!

Primary Schools
That’s what we’re working toward together. With our affordable Elementary School Package, it will be an unforgettable field trip for the whole class. Are there children who can’t go on the school trip because of their family’s financial situation? Stay4all helps schools by paying for the stay of children whose parents can’t afford it, so that everyone can go on an adventure.
From room assignments (including teachers’ rooms) to packed lunches, and from venue rentals to clean sheets, we’ll take care of it all for you. There are also all kinds of fun activities near the hostel, from GPS scavenger hunts to forest golf, and we even offer special free activities! Ask us for tips and to hear about other schools’ experiences, we’re happy to help you plan!

Secondary & higher education
We offer a package deal for secondary and higher education. From room arrangements (including rooms for teachers) to a packed lunch and from hall rentals to clean sheets - we'll gladly take care of everything. If you opt for full board, you’ll get a discount on the group stay! Can’t every pupil go on the trip due to financial circumstances? Stay4all helps schools by covering the cost of the stay for pupils whose parents cannot afford it, so that everyone can join in the adventure.
If you want to rent bicycles, do some outdoor sports with your group or rather want to make sure they learn something creative or cultural, check out our many possibilities, some of which are completely free! There's always something to do in and around our hostels.
Do you have specific wishes, such as a room for a reading, party or guest lecture? Or do you want to rent the entire hostel or campsite for a practical week? No problem. What’s more: many of our hostels have a nice bar. And, let’s be honest, that’s something your group will undoubtedly find important!
Best Locations for High School Seniors & Students
Our hostels offer the perfect base for a trip filled with culture, activities, and fun. Stay in the unique cube houses in Rotterdam, the political hub of The Hague, or industrial Eindhoven. Or get some fresh air on the beach at Terschelling, which offers the most beautiful view of the Wadden Sea.
Financial support
We believe it’s important for students to be able to go on school trips. That’s why we founded Stay4all. Through Stay4all, we cover the cost of the trip for students whose parents cannot afford it. We do this for all educational groups with children up to age 18, for both Dutch and Belgian schools. This way, the whole class can go on an adventure—exactly as we’d like to see it. A school principal or teacher can apply for funding for a student directly online using the application form.
In addition to schoolchildren, we also use this fund to help families living in poverty, offering them a short vacation at Stayokay.
