Now in its third year, it is specifically designed for participants with additional needs, so they can benefit from a camp with total inclusion at its core.
We believe that the joys of adventurous activities shouldn’t be limited. The aim of the Chameleon Camp is to give all young people an opportunity to succeed and share their experiences in an outdoor environment alongside members of their peer group, friends and siblings, just as they will when they become adults.
This fantastic event all kicks off on Sunday 20th July 2025. Details and how to book can be found on the Ferny Crofts website.
And now this year for the first time the 60 attendees will now be able to do so completely free of charge!
This wouldn't be possible without the kind and generous sponsorship of the event by Pennyfarthing Homes, who have over 50 years experience of building new homes in our area, primarily in Hampshire and the New Forest.
With one more barrier to participation removed, we're hoping that thank to Pennyfarthing Homes' sponsorship, this will be the best Chameleon Camp yet! We're spreading the word so we can find as many people from across the County and beyond who can take part and make the most of this fantastic opportunity.
This event is open to all Scout aged young people aged 4 to 18 years. All participants may also bring a friend or sibling to share the experience with them who also do not need to be within the Scout movement.
Parents and carers are able to attend the event for free, all participants get a badge (naturally!) and a range of activities will be on offer to cater for all ages and abilities including Backwoods Cooking, Climbing, Archery and Zip Wire. Plus, the day will finish with a campfire and singing.
To find out more, and to get stuck in, head to the Ferny Crofts website.
