Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Derby Kids’ Camp is an entirely volunteer-run charity which provides free holidays for over 300 of Derbyshire’s most deserving children each year.

These children face huge challenges in their day-to-day lives: from poverty to bereavement; social interaction difficulties and the challenges of being a young carer. Their week at Derby Kids’ Camp gives them the chance to try out new activities, explore new surroundings, make new friends – and more importantly, enjoy being a kid!

The holidays help to build children’s confidence and independence: giving children the opportunity to enjoy new experiences and leave with lifelong memories of an amazing childhood holiday!

The role

Help be part of the team that builds the campsite for Derby Kids' Camp this summer.

Summer Camp takes place in the ‘canvas village’, which includes 12 various marquees, 11 children’s tents and a whole barn FULL of equipment to make Derby Kids’ Camp the best serviced, most comfortable holiday for all our children and volunteers.

In just 2.5 days, the team build the entire Camp – starting from an empty field – to make sure the camp is ready for the Week 1 team to arrive and kick Summer Camp off on the Saturday lunchtime.

Building Camp takes all sorts to complete a whole host of varying tasks – from the most physical or technical (building huge marquees and installing gas & electrics) to the lighter work involved (arranging the kitchen, sorting the food stores and clothes stores, or making all the beds!). So there really is a job for everyone – no matter how strong, technical or otherwise you may be!

Here is all the information you need about being part of the camp build team.
