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, celebrate diversity and create 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 safe space where our members can be their authentic selves and their children can holiday with families that look 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 like 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 sense of community fostered by summer camp is invaluable for many of the LGBTQ+ adoptive parents, foster carers and special guardians who attend. They have the chance to meet other LGBTQ+ families, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. Our supportive and understanding staff and volunteers are dedicated to making sure every guest feels valued and included. For some who attend as volunteers it can provide real reassurance on their adoption or fostering journey.

As camp draws near there’s just a few final spaces remaining. If you’re a Gold member you can log-in to the site now for more details on the event. Every family deserves a place where they can feel accepted and celebrated. We’re delighted for hundreds of our members that camp is that place.
