“I’m a better person because I’m involved in Over The Wall Camp. I’m happier, warmer, and more smiley because of the work that I get to do with this charity.”
Volunteer Applications are open!
We are seeking volunteers for our 2027 camps for children and young people with long-term health conditions, their siblings, and families.
Volunteers help provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children aged 8 to 17 years can rediscover the magic and mischief of childhood; try new things, meet new friends and reflect on all their achievements.
Help bring magic and mischief
The majority of next year’s camps – Health Challenge Camps, Siblings Camps and Family Camps – will take place our new forever home in Ockbrook, Derbyshire, as well as camps at Strathallan, Scotland.
No two days are the same on the 3-day and 5-day residential camps. Volunteers work together to deliver or support activities including arts and crafts, team games, campfires, archery, dance parties, and more.
In addition, thanks to Clinical Volunteers – qualified doctors, nurses, and paramedics – camps can safely accommodate children currently receiving treatment or experiencing health challenges for over 130 illnesses.
Rewarding, worthwhile and fun!
Charlotte Gibson, Senior Volunteer Coordinator, said:
“Volunteering with Over The Wall Camp is incredibly rewarding and worthwhile. Alongside learning new skills, increasing your self-confidence, and making lifelong friendships with other volunteers, you can make a big difference to the lives of children and young people, in a safe and magical environment.
“From bringing activities to life and being the spark that keeps the camp buzzing to providing home-from-home nursing and medical care, there really is a role for everyone at Over The Wall Camp.
“It’s a unique experience and we can’t wait to see your application to join us on camp!”
