Summer Camp Volunteers | The Boathouse Youth

Volunteer for Summer Camp 2025!

This year, The Boathouse Youth will be providing a fully-funded residential camping experience for more around 200 children and young people from Blackpool. Our young people will have the chance to take part in one of three week-long camping adventures!

We’re on the lookout for passionate volunteers to join our team! We’ll need support with setup, daily maintenance, cleaning, and packing down at the end of camp. Setting up the infrastructure for this is a mammoth task – but many hands make light work!

If you’re happy to spend a day outdoors (rain or shine!) and can lend your strength to loading equipment, erecting tents, and getting stuck in, we’d love to have you on board.

Here’s how you can get involved and make a difference!

Thursday 24th July

Main Setup Day

20 Volunteers Needed

10:00am – 5:00pm

Setting up Camp

Join us on Thursday 24th July 2025, 10am–5pm to help set up camp for 50-60 children and staff to enjoy an amazing summer experience. It’s a great opportunity to get outdoors, work as a team, and make a real difference.

We’ll meet at Bibby’s Farm Scout Activity Centre, Chorley, ready for a 10am briefing. Free parking is available in the main car park, and Team BHY will be there to welcome you.

You’ll need to bring your own lunch and drinks, and dress for the weather – whether that’s wellies and raincoat or shorts and suncream! Tasks include putting up tents and marquees, running utilities, and building football goals. It’s a rewarding day of graft, usually finishing around 4:30pm.

Sign up today and we’ll email you all the details you need.
