What to expect?

The camp is a 3 day and 3 night fest of Nature | Camp | Sport | Art | Music | Spirituality | Laughs.  The family gets bigger as we party and work together to build a great environment for all ages to enjoy and express themselves.  We hope that you can pitch in with food and cleaning rotas as well as looking out for each other.  It’s as great a holiday as you can make it.  There is also a multi faith prayer hut to fulfill any spiritual persuasion that may be needed to be fulfilled.

There is no electric hookups for caravans but there is mobile phone charge points.

We’ve begged, borrowed and had sleepless nights to keep the ticket price low and it includes all activities, 3 meals a day and pitch fees.

Camp Rainbow is your oyster, so come and enjoy!

Each day will have a mixed bag of activities for all your needs and wants, with everything from Dance Worskshops to Bubble Battles.  There’s also walks and tours of the Ickworth House and grounds orgainsed by the National Trust. 5 aside footy & 10 aside cricket, whilst the kids are competing in this years rainbolympics.

Organic storytelling and tea drinking for the mind whilst arts and crafts for the hands.

Your muscles will either ache or move to the beat as the outdoors are used to all its extremes!  Get ready to entertain as well as be entertained.

Under the rays of the bright lights.  The talent which has been bursting to explode get its stage!  Can you breakdance, break a limb, balance yourself on a tooth pick, sing like Adele or describe the undescribable? Then this night is your moment!

Bring any props, costumes, backing music and instruments you require and lets see what you got baby!

Whelk speakers giving us good vibrations. Many musical journeys in many musical days with many musical beats with the marvelllous musical whelks. Come along to the whelks welcome and lose yourself!
