Level 1 Camp

This is a camp specially designed for all new campers who’ve not been to Kids of Gold camps before, and these are now held in October of each year. Our next one will run From Friday 24th – Sun 26th October 2025. The main emphasis in this camp is to bring the kids to a recognition that they are special and uniquely gifted, to help them take pride in their accomplishments, and to encourage them to attempt new tasks and challenges.  This is all done in an atmosphere of having fun, because although these are undoubtedly all big and serious areas for any child,  it has been our experience they definitely can be tackled, but must be done so  in a fun-loving way, which kids absolutely love ( and so do we)!

Level 1

  • Take Pride in their accomplishments (overcoming fear)

October Helpers

Children who have completed  their 3 Levels and who would like to help a leader in that camp are invited to attend. Their main role is to help campers feel at ease and feel at home in their new setting, and by meeting someone who has done all the levels and is closer to the campers’ ages, it has been found they can be very helpful in settling these newcomers  into this their first camp.  Although they are helpers in this camp, they don’t have sessions of their own, and still have to wait till they are 12 to become Level 4 helpers. The next helpers needed would be for the October camp on Friday 24th – Sunday 26th October 2025.
