Volunteering in Derby

Get Ready to Create Some Mischief and Magic!

We are Over The Wall Camp, a Uk based children’s charity. We offer free and fun activity camps for children and young people living with health challenges. These camps provide opportunities for deserving young people and their families to discover a world of mischief, magic and new possibilities. There are two ways for our campers to experience this; at residential camps and through our online programme, Camp in the Cloud. And what’s more, it’s all free!

Thank you so much for checking out our volunteering page. Our volunteers support us in helping to create the best possible experience for our campers at our residential and online camps. As a volunteer, you can learn new skills, meet new people and make a difference to the lives of children and young people in a unique and magical environment.
