About our Camps
There are ten children’s Vinnie Camps around the country giving supervised activity and fun to children aged between eight and twelve years. They offer a week of fun, excitement and friendship to children who may well be in need of a break away from school and family life.
Safe and caring
SVP Vinnie Camps have a wonderful heritage: for 100 years they have provided safe, inclusive and caring holidays for children in need of a break.
Vinnie Camps are staffed by dedicated and caring volunteers, offering a high ratio of adult-to-child supervision. This means that each and every child receives a great deal of time and positive attention, perhaps more than some have ever known before. Summer holidays offer, first and foremost, fun and enjoyment. But they also provide an opportunity for respite, new learning experiences and personal growth.
All Camp helpers must undergo enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) against the children's barred list before being allowed to join our SVP camps. As well as completing Safeguarding training which is verified by the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA).
Fun and games
Activities include swimming, archery, climbing, football, arts and crafts, and talent shows. With the aim to help build independence, decision-making, social and emotional skills, character building and values- all in an atmosphere of creativity and enrichment under the supervision of positive adult role models.
