Getting to camp
There is parking at all our camps, so many families choose to make their own way to us. However, we can also pick you up from the nearest train station to camp. If you’d like to arrange this, please let us know in your application.
Our free-of-charge residential camps are more than just a holiday!
Campers have transformational experiences when they join the Over The Wall and DRWF Family Camp. You can step into the camp bubble, where our meaningful activity programme has been designed to be inclusive and help every camper succeed. Whether your family make new friends, take on the climbing wall, or find new talents, you should all leave camp feeling proud.
OTWC Partnership Camps are where many children and young people with health challenges grow their confidence, form lifelong bonds, and feel more independent than ever before.
Our camps have bedrooms and bathrooms, so you’ll have a comfortable place to rest and won’t have to pitch a tent!
Your team of mischief and magic makers!
To make camp possible for you Over The Wall Camp and DRWF provide the specialist care to support your family at all times. Camp is a safe and supportive environment for you to step outside your comfort zone.
This partnership camp is run by bringing staff from Over The Wall Camp and DRWF together, supported by our wonderful volunteers.
Over The Wall Camps are 100% free of charge
This partnership camp has only been made possible by the financial support from DRWF and our generous fundraisers, meaning our camps are 100% fun and 100% free, for everyone, all of the time.
