Youth camp is back in October 2025!
Are you looking to have some fun, meet others and learn new skills? Yes? Then this is the camp for you!
When: Monday 13th to Friday 17th October 2025
Where: Howtown, Lake District, England
Who: Deaf young people in Scotland aged 14-18, and their siblings
Cost: Free
This year we are travelling south of the border to the beautiful Lake District in England. We will be camping in Howtown, which is run by Outward Bound, who have facilitated some of our previous Youth Camps including Loch Eil. The camp will be running throughout the half-term dates in October, so you can enjoy 5 full days of activities.
You can view the centre here.
This year we are focusing on the theme of leadership, with tailored activities to explore aspects of leading a group and team work. Throughout the 5 days we will help you to become young leaders, and maybe even lead your own group at our 2026 camp next year! Our Youth Camp is an opportunity to develop new skills, grow confidence, build relationships with others or to simply enjoy the social aspect of the camp. We want you to have the best experience as possible.
