Over The Wall Camp, a magical place for children and young people with long-term health conditions

Over The Wall Camp is a UK based charity for children with serious illness and disabilities, and their families, to discover a world of mischief and magic. A place where they can be brave and have fun with others. These amazing places are physical – in residential camps and also available online – with Camp in the Cloud. And what’s more, it’s all free!

Rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, Over The Wall Camp provides a safe environment for children and young people to build confidence and self-esteem whilst first-class medical care ensures our unique ability to cater for more than 130 different conditions.
