The Summer Camps Trust UK

The Summer Camps Trust UK is rated 3 out of 5 in the category philanthropy. Read and write reviews about The Summer Camps Trust UK. The Summer Camps Trust highlights the benefits that summer camps can have for young people and raises the profile of well-run residential summer camps in Britain so that more young people may benefit from these remarkable opportunities. Only 2% of the UK’s children currently take part in Summer Camps every year, approximately 225,000. We aim to double that by 2022, and have one million children participating in summer camps by 2030. The Trust is run by a Board of Trustees of summer camp experts with a broad and comprehensive knowledge of summer camp provision in the UK. The board includes representatives from each of the main political parties, and has wide and enthusiastic support in the educational and outdoor industries. Our members represent a range of exceptional residential holiday providers, outdoor educators and non-profits, who are uniting in the goal of training young adults to be camp leaders who provide positive role models for the children attending camp. The Summer Camps Trust would like to hear from people who support its aims and could help to achieve them, by spreading the word about summer camps and the benefits they bring, by getting articles in the press or mentions on radio and TV, by donating money towards the appointment of a Development Officer, by getting MPs or opinion formers on board, by offering PR or fundraising skills, or just by telling as many people as possible about summer camps and how wonderful they are for children and young people.
