A summer of fun in 5 days!
At Camp Fairthorne you'll be in the big outdoors, exploring nature and building friendships. You can choose from a range of activities, or just enjoy the fun at your own pace. Whatever you do, it'll be amazing.
Camp Fairthorne is a fun-packed 5-night residential camp for ages 8-16.
What's included?
A summer camp experience can be an unforgettable time with lots of new friends and lifelong memories. Our residential camps are safe, fun, and full of amazing outdoor experiences. We provide a full programme of activities throughout the day and evening, accommodation, full board (all dietary requirements catered for), and fully qualified, friendly staff who are available 24 hours a day for your child.
"My kids wanted me to email to say how much they enjoyed Camp Fairthorne this summer. They said the staff were great and made it really fun and both thought that it was the perfect length as well. Lily was asking me to book again for next year before we even left the car park!! Lily now can't wait to return for her school residential in October and will proudly be wearing her Camp t-shirt and sweatshirt that she loves. I look forward to being able to book them on camp with you again next year. Thank you for giving them such a fantastic opportunity and for looking after them so well.

We welcome children with support needs to attend our Daycamp programmes. We appreciate that support requirements vary from child to child so if you think your child would benefit from additional support, please contact us on 01489 785228 before making your booking. Children with 1:1 support requirements and registered for a Gateway card can benefit from 1:1 support provided as part of the Hampshire County Council Short Breaks Scheme.
Great news! As all YMCA Daycamps and Residential Camps are Ofsted registered and classified as childcare, you save money on the cost by paying with Childcare Vouchers (CCV) or the Government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme (TFC).
Deciding to pay by CCV or TFC amounts to accepting to buy a service and will be subject to relevant booking conditions. Please note that CCV/TFC payments can only be accepted for the childcare element of bookings and cannot be used to purchase the Family Discount Scheme.
We can also accept payment by credit or debit card for any of our services. If you need any further information that isn’t covered below, you can read more here https://ymca-fg.org/save-money-on-your-school-holiday-childcare/ or call our team for advice: 01489 785228
The majority of our activities are suitable for children with disabilities or can be adapted to make them accessible to ensure everyone can experience the benefits of outdoor adventure. Camp Fairthorne children stay in tents with wooden floors and access a nearby toilet and shower block which has an accessible bathroom. Please contact us to discuss your child’s requirements.
