Thank you. So "at/on a weekend" and "in the holiday(s)" are not correct, right?

Thank you. So when we talk about someone who takes part in an activity, we can use both "join" and "join in" without changing the meaning, right? For example, "someone joined the search for a lost kid" = "someone joined in the search for a lost kid"?
