Camp K
Camp K is delivered by Girlguiding Cornwall, bringing together passionate young people and volunteers to create a safe, fun and life-changing holiday for children in our local community.
Camp K offers children, aged 7–11, who are identified by Cornwall’s Social Services, the chance to step away from everyday challenges and enjoy a week filled with adventure, and fun. For many of the children who attend, this will be the only holiday they have.
The camp programme is designed to be exciting and confidence-building, and includes:
Team challenges and It’s a Knock Out–style games
Campfires and group activities
A day trip to a theme park
A visit to the beach
Swimming and outdoor adventures
How we deliver Camp K
Camp K has been running for 50 years and is made possible through the dedication of volunteers aged 14–25, both male and female, who work 1:1 with a child throughout the camp. Volunteers take part in all activities alongside their child, helping to build confidence and positive memories.
Girlguiding Cornwall welcomes support from:
Rangers
Young Leaders
Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) participants
Cornwall Explorer Scouts
Volunteers are fully supported by experienced Girlguiding volunteers and a committed team of adult volunteers available at all times.
There are always opportunities to join our enthusiastic and caring team and help us deliver a holiday that makes a real difference.
Together, we can build experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
