Our camps and residentials are for young people, including disabled young people, young refugees and asylum seekers and young people with mental-ill health, from all over Gloucestershire. Each camp and residential has a different theme or focus and we welcome ideas for new places and activities from groups and communities of young people who would like their own specific event.
They are run co-operatively, and everyone joins in cooking, collecting firewood, map reading and entertaining each other. The camps are mainly run by young people who have been camping with us for years who make the fun happen in a safe, supportive way. Watch our film to get a sense of what happens on camp!
