Summer Camps

Brand new for 2025, the young people at Camp Caldecotte! will be making life long memories, buildling friendships and having loads of fun.

Our 4 night, 5 day residential summer camps provide a fantastic experience for young people to experience a stay away from home in a safe, secure environment. They will participate in a varied programme that will develop life skills, whilst challenging them with a range of adventure learning activities such as paddleboarding, archery, climbing and stay in a festival style camping village. Our experienced staff will support them to take on new challenges.

We are an Approved Activity Provider for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award so the camp is the perfect residential for their Gold Award.


Congratulations to our Marathon finishers

We are immensely grateful to our incredible runners, Steve, Simon, Christian, and Eamon, for finishing the MK marathon and half marathon this May bank holiday.

Their efforts raised vital funds to support our programs. A heartfelt thank you to Enzo and Bonnie for your amazing support in motivating our runners to achieve their goals.


Taking it to the Xtreme!

Six teams competed at The Caldecotte Xtreme with NHBC team 1 emerging as the 2025 champions.

Teams tackled canoeing, archery, zorbing, abseiling, caving, climbing, and running with enthusiasm. The windy conditions made things challenging, yet smiles remained all round!

The teams fundraising efforts provide funds for programmes to support young people to develop those skills we saw from the teams – teamwork and resilience.
