What is Family Camp?
Family Camp is a FREE residential weekend for the whole family when a child or young person in the family is living with a health challenge.
It’s a chance to step away from everyday life, have fun together and make memories as a family. Expect a weekend full of camp activities, laughter and plenty of mischief and magic.
There’s a mixture of high and low-impact activities, with choices available throughout the weekend.
And when we say camp, we don’t mean tents! Campers stay in comfortable accommodation, with meals, activities and medical and wellbeing support all provided.
Who Can Come to a Health Challenge Camp?
Our Family Camps are for families where at least one child aged 0 – 17 has a health challenge and at least one family member is aged 8 – 17.
We also run illness-specific Family Camps.
