A word from...... James Lawrence, Head of Communications & Engagement
New Family Social's Summer Camp is an incredible opportunity for LGBTQ+ members and their families to come together, honor diversity and generate lasting memories. This August, we’ll welcome our LGBTQ+ members and the children they parent and care for to join us for a weekend of fun, connection and support.
Our summer camp provides a sound space where our members can be their authentic selves and their children can holiday with families that watch like theirs. Our curated activities programme for children and young people is filled with activities and caters to a wide range of their ages and interests.
From outdoor adventures prefer the assault course, climbing wall and pedal karting to creative workshops in arts and crafts, camp offers a diverse range of opportunities for our members’ children. There’s even evening events such as campfires and talent shows. With something for every young person to enjoy it’s a highlight of our year.
The meaning of community fostered by summer camp is invaluable for many of the LGBTQ+ adoptive parents, foster carers and special guardian
