Over The Wall Camp

Over The Wall Camp provides free-of-charge residential and virtual camps for children with health challenges or disabilities and their families to rediscover a world of mischief and magic through meaningful and exciting activities.

Every child deserves the magic of childhood

Every child deserves the magic of childhood
For children living with serious illness or disability, everyday life can feel limited. Over The Wall Camp gives children like Tobi and Tomi space to laugh, make friends, grow in confidence and feel the magic of childhood.

Their first family holiday

Their first family holiday
Twins Tobi and Tomi were born with sickle-cell disease, a genetic blood disorder. Aged 10, Tobi suffered a heart attack and stroke, leaving him in a coma for a week. Two years later, Over The Wall Camp gave his family their first holiday together.

Finding comfort, friendship and magic

Finding comfort, friendship and magic
Tobi’s Mum, Cordelia, found comfort with other parents whose children were living with sickle-cell disease, knowing she wasn’t alone. Together, the family discovered how joy, connection and camp magic could help them face challenges.
