Every summer, hundreds of young people experience adventure, friendship and memories that last a lifetime through BHY Summer Camp.
Behind the scenes, it takes an incredible team of volunteers to help bring camp to life. Whether you can spare a few hours, a full day or support across several weeks, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved.
Summer Camp offers businesses a practical and rewarding way to support local young people whilst building stronger teams.
Corporate volunteering groups can help with camp setup, daily support and pack down activities, whilst enjoying a unique opportunity to engage directly with BHY’s work.

As Summer Camp comes to an end, we need a final team of volunteers to help pack camp away safely and efficiently.
This role is essentially the reverse of setup day – taking down tents, packing equipment and helping return the site to normal.

Clearing communal areas

BHY Summer Camp simply wouldn’t happen without volunteers.
Every table carried, meal served and tent erected helps create life-changing experiences for young people across our community.
