Over The Wall

At Over The Wall, we help children, young people and their families, reach beyond the boundaries of their health challenges to discover a world of mischief, magic and new possibilities. We do this by providing both virtual and residential activity camps throughout the UK, which are completely FREE to attend.

At our residential camps, we offer a medically and physically safe environment that allows young people affected by health challenges to step outside of their comfort zones, establish friendships and build their confidence through meaningful and exciting activities. Campers are supported by adult volunteers as well as a medical team who provide home from home care. To note, all our residential accommodation are buildings with bedrooms, bathrooms and electricity (not tents!!).

We offer a wide variety of different activities at camp, which are planned and delivered to be inclusive of all our campers. Each and every one of our activities are fun, safe and engaging and designed to challenge your child in a way that ensures they succeed. Throughout each day, there is a mixture of high energy activities, such as the climbing wall, and low energy activities, such as calligraphy, to ensure each child gets the most out of each day.

Our camps are based in the South, the Midlands, and Scotland, and we offer free transport hubs from some major cities, again free of charge.

With our virtual family camps (Camp in the Cloud) you take part from your own home, we send a box of activities to you that contains everything you need to take part. You then join our virtual camp which is web based. We can even lend devices uploaded with data if required. You can dip in and out of the camp during the day to suit your own schedule.

If you’d like to find out more, please visit www.otw.org.uk, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at ruth.quill@otw.org.uk. I would love to answer any of your questions, big or small.
