Winter Camp
is Back!

Whilst applying for camp, you will be able to sign up for our easy payment plan, just select to pay by Debit Card, and you can set up automatic monthly payments.

Any young person who has problems meeting the cost of camp can apply for financial assistance. For more information please contact Mrs Estele Miller via hello@jlgb.org before 8th December 2021, support may not be available after that date.

All applications for financial assistance will be dealt with in the strictest confidence.

Our menu has a mix of home classics and camp favourites. Each morning there's a hot breakfast and you can help yourself to cereal, toast and fresh fruit. Lunch can include baked potatoes and pastas. Dinner is three courses from freshly cooked schnitzels, to colourful stir fry's. Our Salad+ bar will fill you up, plus you'll get an afternoon treat and a hot choc before bed.

Given advance notice, we are happy to cater for those who have special dietary needs - just mention it on your Application Form. Drinks are available from early morning to late evening, so bring your own water bottle and just help yourself! If you don't fancy what is available for a meal, do let the dining room leaders know and they'll do their best to find an alternative for you.

The cost of Camp includes transport from central pick-up points. All participants are expected to travel on the transport provided and should be in contact directly with JLGB otherwise. Expected pick up points are: Borhemawood, Edgware, Gants Hill, South London, Whitefield, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow and Cardiff.

In a heated and fully indoor building, all participants will sleep in en-suite bedrooms of between 4 -8 people. Duvets and pillows will be provided, so you won’t need to bring sleeping bags, ensuring that participants get the home comforts alongside the traditional camp experience.

The building contains many large activity rooms, including an indoor sports hall, large productions hall, dining rooms and many comfortable lounges. There are also outdoor spaces on site which we will use, weather permitting, to make sure everyone gets some fresh air!

We have a high ratio of leaders, plus leaders specifically designated for welfare and medical care - so there's always someone for you to go to if you have a problem. All our adult leaders are DBS checked and First Aid trained plus have a wealth of leadership experience. They will look after you throughout the week, so you can ask them for any help you may need.

The Medical Team will collect your medication on arrival and make sure you get it at the right times! If you do feel unwell, there is a fully-equipped first aid room manned throughout the day. In the event of an emergency we have 24 hour care and we are registered with all local hospitals.

JLGB has many years of experience in dealing with sensitive issues and any welfare concerns will be addressed with care and confidentiality by our Welfare Team. 

The information provided as part of our online application process is treated as confidential - please don't be embarrassed or worried to discuss any problems. We can deal with almost anything as long as we are forewarned. Please inform us of any changes that occur after you've applied i.e. divorce, bereavement, or anything you feel may affect your child's wellbeing.

The "Freshers' Club" is open for all participants in year 6, 7 and 8 where our dedicated team of leaders will guide and put on activities especially for you. A great way for people who are new to camp to meet people their own age and make friends as they find their feet. When you arrive, look out for the Freshers' team who will be waiting for you!

We understand that going away from home can be nerve wracking, and we will do our best to accommodate you with at least one friend you know already. Please clearly note the names of those you would like to shared with at the end of your application form.

Winter Camp is a fully Kosher site and the programme is Shomrei Shabbat with an inspirational Shabbat experience as part of the programme. There are also facilities available for daily prayer services and those who wish to take part should let the camp team know beforehand via their application form.

We have a dedicated security team, working closely with the CST, to make sure that you are kept safe whilst at camp. During the night leaders are never far away, emergency points and
leader’s rooms are clearly marked. Emergency phone numbers will be issued should parents need to contact their child whilst at camp.
