Camp in the Cloud

Camp in the Cloud is a free virtual adventure for families affected by Dravet Syndrome. Delivered live on Zoom and packed with fun activities, family connection, and moments you can all enjoy together at home.

We’ve partnered with Over the Wall Camp, to bring you a one-day, at-home virtual camp, designed especially for families living with Dravet Syndrome.

The day will bring the mischief and magic of an Over The Wall Camp straight into your living room through creative activities, fun and silly games, and live sessions where you can connect with other families on journeys just like yours!

 

The details

Date: Sunday 15th November

Time: 10am – 2pm

Location: In the comfort of your own home – the camp is delivered online via Zoom

Cost: Free

Who can attend: Camp in the Cloud is for families who are registered with Dravet Syndrome UK. To join, your immediate household simply needs to include at least one child aged 6-17 years old.

To account for chronological and cognitive age difference, if you care for an adult living with Dravet Syndrome who does not have a sibling in the allocated age bracket, and you’re interested in attending, please apply and we’ll be in touch to discuss your application.
