This is an annual event held in conjunction with the Burns Clubs and Camps Special Interest Group. It gives the children from all over the UK a chance to build supportive relationships with each other and gain confidence and self–esteem. Many friendships made here are kept and are a great source of support when children encounter difficulties at school.
“It’s been the best holiday of my life; I would like to come again but for longer”
This year it will once again be held at Grafham Water Centre in Cambridgeshire. In 2009 40 children, burns care specialists and volunteers from Scotland, Wales and England enjoyed 4 fun packed days at the end of October. In addition to all the activities provided by Centre the children also had a trip to a local swimming centre, and a disco.
Activities at Jamboree have included: Circus Skills, Kayaking, Gorge Scrambling, Caving, Archery, Night Hiking and Climbing.
Each year we fund a Jamboree that costs over £11,000, please click here for ways you can help.
“CBT fulfils a unique but critical role in supporting children across the UK affected by traumatic and life changing burn injuries and their families. Their commitment to this cause and their ability to deliver vitally needed projects is impressive”
