The stay provides users the opportunity for environmental change, stimulation, and social community with others, and can also be good training for those who wish to move away from home.

Supervision is offered before and after school, as well as during holidays and study days, and is available to people from age 13 until they finish high school. Short-term supervision offers relaxing and active leisure activities that provide both physical and mental stimulation, where users have the opportunity to socialize with other young people under adult supervision.
