Camp Jojo

Camp Jojo supports Essex families who have a child with complex medical needs or disabilities to have an outdoor holiday, camping on a farm.

They run weekend camps with a range of activities accessible to everyone, from bushcraft activities, foraging, beach time, tomahawk throwing, feeding farm animals, campfires, tai chi, fire lighting, and music.  

Parents are supported by trained volunteers, so they also experience some respite from their caring responsibilities, especially as there is specialist equipment to suit their child’s individual needs, such as larger tents, hoists, and all-terrain wheelchairs. 

A grant from us supported their running costs, helping to increase their capacity and keep the costs low for families.
