“It’s been the best holiday of my life; I would like to come again but for longer”
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.
In 2009 it was held at Grafham Water Centre in Cambridgeshire. 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 the Centre the children also had a trip to a local swimming centre, and a disco.

“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”
Activities at Jamboree have included: Circus Skills, Kayaking, Gorge Scrambling, Caving, Archery, Night Hiking, Climbing and Sailing........
Each year we fund a Jamboree which costs over £11000.

"I was amazed at how quickly the children got to know one another and began sharing their experiences. Having the children brought together to forget their everyday pressures of growing up in their home or school environment, to have a fun filled weekend is a joy to be part of. Both the children and volunteers thought it was great to be able to attend, and that was only possible through the support funding you provide, so a massive thanks!"
