Story
This summer children from Maidstone and other places in Kent & Sussex will be attend a camp. The camp is designed to help disadvantaged children that wouldn't have chance to have a holiday or that need a break.
The volunteer-run camps allow youngsters to do swimming, sports and games, crafts and woodland activities, in an environment designed to boost their self-esteem.
The aims of the camps are to encourage children to fulfil their potential through community living by:
- promoting a sense of self-worth;
- helping manage difficult behaviour;
- helping them take responsibility for their actions and consequences;
- helping them interact with their peer group;
- teaching respect towards adults and each other;
- allowing them to relax & enjoy themselves in a safe and supported environment - an environment which many such children lack.
