Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Do it 4 Real?

Do it 4 Real is an amazing opportunity for young people aged 10 - 19 to meet new people, try exciting activities and most importantly have fun with non-stop action and adventure at a summer camp.

How long is camp?

Summer camp lasts for 5 nights. You arrive on a Sunday afternoon and leave the following Friday morning. This gives you 4 fun-filled days of action and adventure to enjoy yourself.

Who will be responsible for me at camp?

Our Do it 4 Real Team Leaders will look after you and there will also be fully qualified coaches and instructors to run your activities.

What if I have a problem at camp?

It is unlikely you will have a problem at camp but if you do, you can talk to your Team Leader who will help. If this does not resolve the problem you can talk to your Head Team Leader.

What will I need to bring to camp?

A list of what you need to bring will be sent to you a week or so before camp. If you are going to a camp that uses specialist equipment, this will be provided at camp.

Can I go with friends?

You can go with up to 3 friends but you must send your applications together in the same envelope. If you are worried about not knowing anybody, don’t be, camp is great for making new friends and our Team Leaders will help you get to know everyone.

Can my parents visit me at camp?

There's no point in your parents visiting you at camp because you’ll be too busy cramming in all the fun. However payphones are available for you to call home if you want to.

Will I need pocket money while I’m at camp?

Everything is included at camp so you don’t need to bring lots of money. The only thing you are likely to buy at camp is sweets and ice cream. Some camps include visits to theme parks, where you may want to buy something. We recommend you bring about £10.

Is there anything else I need to bring?

No, not really but remember not to bring anything you wouldn’t want to get dirty, broken or lost. Items like mobile phones, MP3's, watches, jewellery, hand-held computer games and personal stereos should be left at home. Even clothes you do not want to be lost or ruined.

Are there any rules and regulations at camp?

Yes, but these are for your own health and safety and to help you enjoy your summer camp. Your Team Leaders will tell you about any site specific rules and regulations when you arrive at camp.

What does the cost include?

Do it 4 Real Summer Camps offer great value for a 5 night/4 day camp including food, accommodation, expert instruction, activities, excursions and return transport.

If I went to camp last year can I come again?

Yes of course, but places for return campers are limited so book early, as places will fill up fast.

How do I get to camp?

You can travel on one of our coaches, which leave from around 20 departure points across England. You can make your own way to camp, but let us know by ticking the relevant box on the application form.

Who will be at the camps?

Boys and girls age 10 - 19. Camps have specific age ranges on certain weeks – check the details on the individual camp pages.

If I have a disability can I still go to camp?

Yes. Depending on your needs, some of our camps are more appropriate than others. Please call, so we can place you where you will get the most out of your summer camp experience and discuss whether it is necessary for a carer to accompany you at camp.
