Over The Wall Camp
Free residential camps and experiences for children and young people living with medical health challenges, their siblings and their families
Over The Wall Camp, a magical place for children and young people with long-term health conditions
Over The Wall Camp is a UK based charity for children and young people with health challenges and disabilities to discover a world of mischief and magic. We provide a safe place to step outside of comfort zones, establish friendships and build confidence through meaningful and exciting activities.
These amazing experiences are in-person at Residential camp, and from home with Camp in the Cloud. And what’s more, it’s all free!
