Playcamp bookings now open
For more than 40 years, thousands of children from all over Kirklees have spent their school holidays camping, playing games, and making friends at one of the longest running summer camps in the UK.
During camp the children will be in small groups of 6-8 and will have the opportunity to play lots of games, go on the water slide, and enjoy the final night Camp’s Got Talent, disco and campfire.

Every child’s place is subsidised so that costs to parents are kept as low as possible.
A full priced place costs £61.06 and an assisted place for low income families costs just £30.63.
The camp is run by a team of experienced volunteers who ensure that the children are safe and able to have fun. Kirklees Summer Playcamp also offers young people the opportunity to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award residential..
