Supporting Children & Families
Summer Camp
Extern provides a range of programmes across the island of Ireland working with children and young people aged between 8 and 18. Our programmes range from early intervention and prevention, diversion through to working with children within the care system.
Summer Camp is provided to young people aged 8-13 years who live within the Western Health and Social Care Trust region and have been identified as socially excluded, live in an area of high deprivation or are deemed a child in need. Based at the Roscor Youth Village in County Fermanagh, children can participate in a 4-day ‘holiday’ where they can engage in a range of recreational activities available on the site, whilst also developing social and recreational skills. The Summer Camp runs throughout July and August and supports over 160 children every year.
“Going on the Summer Camp meant that when I got back to school I was able to talk about my ‘holiday’ just like all the other kids in my class.”
