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 leave their challenges at the door, can be brave and have fun with others whilst enjoying childhood.

As a result of long-term health conditions, more than 1 in 10 children in the UK can be denied a carefree childhood, and this number is growing. For many of these children, quality of life may be adversely affected by isolation and their inability to participate in many of the everyday activities enjoyed by their friends and peers. This often results in a growing lack of self-esteem and confidence which can become a barrier to future growth and development.
We run life-changing residential Health Challenge, Sibling and Family Camps that help seriously ill children and their families rediscover the joy of childhood. Every activity is inclusive and adapted so all children can take part, regardless of condition or disability. Campers gain confidence, resilience, wellbeing and a lasting sense of belonging.
