Free planning tool

Shared custody vacation planner

Start with the residence pattern, then add the hours when each child actually needs an adult. The useful answer is not only where the child sleeps, but who is responsible from drop-off to pickup.

Try an example

Used only with “Manual sequence”; separate days with commas.

Care option 1
Care option 2
One-off exceptions (optional)
Example: Home B week, coverage required 08:30–18:00, camp confirmed until 16:30. Result: 16:30–18:00 still needs a named solution.

Local demonstration: nothing is saved until you create an account.

How to use it

  1. Place the residence pattern

    Choose the first home and a simple rhythm, then review exceptions rather than assuming every holiday follows the school-term pattern.

  2. Add real coverage hours

    Enter the hours that require care for each weekday, independently from where the child stays overnight.

  3. Name every handoff

    Add camp, family and parent availability with confirmed or provisional status and a pickup responsibility.

Worked example

Example: Home B week, coverage required 08:30–18:00, camp confirmed until 16:30. Result: 16:30–18:00 still needs a named solution.

Residence and coverage are different layers

The overnight home answers one question. Work hours, activity end times and transport answer another. Keeping them separate prevents a colored calendar from hiding a practical gap.

Review before sharing

Check official school dates, current registrations and any parenting agreement. CampGrid helps organize information; it does not change legal arrangements.

Account registration is temporarily unavailable

FAQ

Common questions

Does this tool decide how holidays should be divided?

No. It visualizes the pattern you enter and highlights practical coverage. It does not decide rights or replace an agreement.

Can I use it before inviting the other parent?

Yes. The free example works without an account. A private household is needed to save and collaborate.

Does remote work count as childcare?

Only when an adult explicitly marks the interval as actual coverage. Remote work is not counted automatically.
