Getting to camp
Camps are in several locations across the UK. You can make your own way to camp or on one of our free camp buses (with Over The Wall Camp volunteers). For this camp, our buses will pick campers up from hubs in London, Leeds, Sheffield and Bristol. Let us know in your application if you’d like a place on a camper bus.
Our free-of-charge residential camps are more than just a holiday!
Campers have transformational experiences when they join the Over The Wall Camp family. You can step into the camp bubble, where our meaningful activity programme has been designed to be inclusive and help every camper succeed. Whether you make new friends, take on the climbing wall, or find a new talent, you should leave camp feeling proud.
Over The Wall Camp is where many children and young people with health challenges grow their confidence, form lifelong bonds, and feel more independent than ever before.
Our camps have bedrooms and bathrooms, so you’ll have a comfortable place to rest and won’t have to pitch a tent!
Your team of mischief and magic makers!
To make camp possible for you, our medical team of nurses, doctors and paramedics are there at all times. This means they can provide routine care and respond to emergencies. Camp is a safe and supportive environment for you to step outside your comfort zone.
Camps are run by our Over The Wall Camp staff team and wonderful volunteers.
Over The Wall Camps are 100% free of charge
Over The Wall camps are fully funded by our generous donors and fundraisers, meaning our camps are 100% fun and 100% free, for everyone, all of the time.
Who can join us at camp?
Health Challenge & Sibling Camps
These camps are five days of magic for children and young people to come to without their grown-ups! You’ll be in a small group with other campers your age, with your own team of volunteers.
You can join us if:
You’re aged 8-17 years old and are living with a health challenge or have finished treatment within the last three years.
You’re aged 8-17 years old and you have a sibling (aged 0-17 years) who has a health challenge.
We also run Family Camps, which are two nights of fun for the whole family, so the grown-ups don’t miss out!
