Experience an Adventure-Filled Summer at Portsmouth Diocese Don Bosco Camp  2025

Join Us for the Next Summer Camp:

“Young people must not only be loved; but they must know they are loved.”

- Don Bosco

St. John Bosco

The Portsmouth Diocese Don Bosco camp is inspired by the life and work of St. John Bosco.

​

Fr. John Bosco was an Italian priest (hence Don Bosco) who worked with young people who were orphans or who had left difficult family situations and ended up on the streets.

 

John Bosco believed that there was no such thing as a bad child, only bad circumstances, and he worked hard to give all children a place to play, grow, and to learn to trust again.

 

In the same spirit, we welcome lots of children to the St. John Bosco Camp, some of whom will not have any other summer holiday.

The  Portsmouth Diocese Don Bosco Camp

We provide an opportunity for secondary school aged boys (leaving Yr6 to leaving Yr11) to have an exciting, activity-packed camping holiday in a challenging but safe countryside setting. Join us for a memorable experience filled with fun and learning!

​

​

We are a Catholic camp and Mass is held each day, where the boys get a really good introduction to a balanced Christian adult life and some opportunities they may not get anywhere else.
