Welcome to Campus!

Campus Children's Holidays is a lively mix of young kids, older kids, volunteers, families, more kids, activities, exhaustion, and fun. Working with Liverpool Social Services, this Cambridge-based charity provides holidays for children from inner-city Liverpool, a chance for kids to take on activites they otherwise would never experience, and an all-too-rare opportunity for families to gain some respite from often difficult circumstances.

Campus works with children from the ages of 6 upwards. For the youngest, there is a Liverpool-based day project; for the older ones, a rural residential one. And after that, our kids have the chance to prove themselves as Young Helpers, coming back to lend us their invaluable experience as they assist with the children. Some have even gone on to become co-ordinators, taking on the full responsibility of running a week of project!

Throughout the projects, we aim to provide continuity, keeping in touch with families over the years. Helpers come back year after year to see "their" kids - and many have worked on so many weeks that nearly all the children know them!

Campus is 40 years old this year! If you are a former Campus member, we'd love to hear from you and find out where life after Campus has taken you! Please contact Rachel Nichols on rachel.nichols@campusholidays.org.uk.
