This year the camp will run between 4 and 19 July. We run two separate camps within those weeks (one with for male guests the other for female guests). Our guests mainly join us from the Deir El Salib hospitals and vary in age (young teenagers, adults and the old) and are selected regardless of religion or faith.
All of our guests have mental and/or physical disabilities, and many have been abandoned by their families. Unless we provide them with our holiday camp, some of them will not get the opportunity to leave the hospital for the remainder of the year. Indeed the conditions they live in are very basic and difficult, the ratio of permanent staff to residents is around 20 to 300.
Throughout the camps our volunteers provide one on one care, attending to their needs, and ensuring their holiday is as happy and rewarding as it can be. I cannot convey to you the excitement when they reach the camp.
