Derby, Derby, United Kingdom Derby Kids' Camp Full time

Becoming a Derby Kids' Camp volunteer is an opportunity to make an amazing difference to local young children - helping provide respite and a positive experience to children, aged 8-11, who are in need of a holiday.


We take children on our main campsite in Derbyshire where we have up to 70 children each week, supported by our amazing 35-40 volunteers We provide a range of experiences for children to participate in, such as; campfires, on-site sports and craft activities, swimming, river paddling, walking, going to an animal park farm, shopping, playing on an adventure playground, playing board games etc.

You can get stuck in with our children too

Most Summer camp roles will include:

  • Being a part of a group and working with those children during the activities (mini groups of 8-10 children with 3-4 volunteers in). You will get to know children very quickly and support them on camp as they may have never been away from home, making sure they have eaten and stay warm in their tent at night.
  • Support children with the activities on or off camp. Check they are safe throughout the activity, encouraging them to try new experiences, making sure they eat and drink, and supporting them to play alongside other children.
  • Specific role on camp
  • You will be asked to carry out a role (along with many other volunteers) to ensure the smooth running of camp. We have a range of roles and when you apply, you can specify your skills so we can best place you. Most of our new volunteers join the sports or craft team. This involves setting up the activities and running them (this is mostly selfled).
  • Supporting other volunteers throughout camp
  • Teamwork

You will need to ensure you work with other members of camp to enable this to run smoothly. 18+ volunteers will be required to complete at least 1 night shift (34 hours) in order to support children who may need it during the night Lastly, have fun with the Kids and enjoy the holiday too Remember, children are at the heart of everything we do.

 Communication

 Mobility

  • A wealth of knowledge from our returning volunteers plenty of people return each year, who will be more than happy to show you how camp works, so don't worry about not knowing what to do
