• Expert care: Our team includes haemophilia nurses and a physiotherapist.
• Safe and inclusive environment: We prioritise your well-being and create a supportive space.
• Location: Located near London, they offer the peace of a woodland area, beautiful surroundings, and a wide variety of activities across 108 acres. This gives young people the chance to experience the freedom of the outdoors.

When will I hear if my child/ren can attend camp?

• Successful applicants will be notified by the end of March 2025. If not successful, your child will be placed on a waiting list.
• We hold the right to close applications earlier than planned if we are over-subscribed.

Deposit

• This event costs the Haemophilia Society £500 per child.

This will secure your child’s spot. Payment plans will be available if needed.
