Summary

Volunteers assist the young people we support on camps and local day activities. Our Forest Camp takes place in the Forest of Dean at Biblins Youth Camp Site.

Detailed description

Our programme provides young people with the chance to try new things and challenge themselves, experience success, learn to go beyond their expectations and grow in confidence. They have the chance to take part in a range of activities, work in a team, experience group living and challenge themselves in a new environment. The programme is built around three residential adventure camps.


As a Programme Volunteer at one of our camps you will work with groups of up to 10 young people alongside other experienced volunteers, trained members of staff and activity instructors. You will have the opportunity to take part in all of the activities with the young people, ensuring that they get the most out of their time on our programme.


You will ensure the welfare and organisation of the young people, help them to get involved and overcome issues, encourage and support their social relationships and help guide your team to work together.

With our support you will also help facilitate the young people’s learning and development by planning and delivering regular review sessions.


You will be invited to join our annual volunteer training weekend in Wiltshire over the weekend of 11 and 12 July 2026.


Forest Camp is from Sat 15 to Thurs 20 August or Sat 22 to Thurs 27 August 2026.


There will be other opportunities to support us at camps in Wales and Dorset and day activities in Wiltshire and Somerset.
