Derby Children's Friendship Group

I first became involved with Derby Children's Friendship Group (D.C.F.G.) in 1995. During the school summer holidays the group take children on a camping holiday. There are 5 weeks of camping holidays split up into individual weeks, these have camp leaders and group leaders. The group leaders are all adults who are volunteers that give up their time to see that the children have a good time. The volunteers ensure the children are safe on and off camp at all times, organize activities on camp, supervise them when they do off camp activities. For the childrens safety I cannot give an itineray of activities they do, but the children enjoy themselves and are very rarely bored (the adults have a lot of fun as well). The children and a lot of the adults have tears in their eyes when it is time to return home and say good-bye. You can bet that the children all want to come back again next year, but alas the group have no control which children go to camp, this is left up to the schools to pick the children.

Volunteers are needed for camp during the summer holidays. If you feel energetic and would like a free holiday, then why not become a camp helper. Just send me an email and I'll send you details.
