They aim to provide holiday-like experiences for children aged 7-11, who might not otherwise have the opportunity. All Camps are organised and run by young adult leaders aged 17 and above who are recruited from both Christian Brothers schools and linked youth groups, schools, and ministries to the Edmund Rice Network.
The success of Camps is founded on a principal of one Leader to every Child, which guarantees them time and attention and ensures a positive experience on Camp.
The first Edmund Rice Camp was held in Australia in 1979, with Camps now being run worldwide – in New Zealand, Africa, North America, Ireland, and England.
Currently we run camps in Stoke-on-Trent, Liverpool, Wirral and Manchester.

O God, we thank you for the life of Edmund Rice.
He opened his heart to Christ present in those oppressed by poverty and injustice.
May we follow his example of faith and generosity.
Grant us the courage and compassion of Edmund as we seek to live lives of love and service.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
