Quaker Camps
Quaker camps provide an opportunity to spend time with other like-minded people exploring both their faith and their relationship with the world around them.
Invitation to Norfolk & Waveney Area Meeting Quaker Camp
​
1st - 8th August 2026
bookings now open
Quaker Camp is an opportunity to spend a week as part of a community.
We camp in a large circle with communal eating and meeting spaces. Our camp is for all ages. Everyone is asked to attend the 15-minute morning Meeting For Worship as this brings the community together and offers a place for announcements to be made. There is a space in the centre for younger campers to play quietly or read.
Activities evolve throughout the week such as writing, crafting, playing games, music, sports, yoga and reading in the sun. If you would like to organise an activity, there is a whiteboard in the marquee to let campers know what you’re planning.
Camp fees include all food and communal expenses, marquee, firewood, toilets. Campers bring their own sleeping tents. Work teams cook for all campers and each camper will be allocated to a work team for one day. It may be possible to swap your day but please check with your team leader first.
​As the site is on a farm, no pets may be brought to camp.
Adult: £155 / students and 10-18 year olds: £65 / 6-9 year olds: £35 / 3-5 year olds: £15 / 0-3 year olds: free. If you would like further information or to make a booking do have a chat to any campers you might know in your meeting or email nwqcamp@gmail.com - we’d love to hear from you.

Extract from the Quaker Camp community guidelines
Quaker Campers are a group of Friends who enjoy camping together for holidays. The camps are organised by experienced Quaker Campers who find a site, take the bookings and see to the day to day running of the camp. A block booking is usually made on a recognised campsite so there are good facilities. Everyone brings all their own camping equipment and each family or single person does their own catering and runs their own unit (tent/caravan/motorhome). Young people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or other adult in loco parentis who is responsible for them.
​
We come to Quaker Campers to enjoy the friendship of other campers in a Quaker community. Whilst at camp, we all share in the responsibility for developing our community. Aspects of camp which contribute to our sense of community include: a short daily Meeting for Worship after which we share our plans for the day, planned entertainments and many informal shared activities. Each one of us is free to join in or not as we wish.
