A place children remember
For over 21 years, Wickedly Wonderful has been creating unforgettable summer camp experiences for children on the beautiful South Coast, near Chichester in West Sussex.
Our camps are built around the simple joy of being outdoors making friends, trying new activities, growing in confidence and having the kind of summer adventures children remember for years to come.
From horse riding and kayaking to beach games, campfires, woodland adventures and marshmallow roasting, Wickedly Wonderful gives children the freedom to explore, laugh, learn and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our approach
Children grow in confidence when they feel safe, included and encouraged.
We keep our camps intentionally small and personal so every child feels seen and supported. Days are spent outdoors exploring, learning new skills, making friends and creating memories that last long after summer ends. Life at camp is simple, active, muddy, sandy and full of fresh-air fun.
Our team
Our team is chosen for their warmth, enthusiasm and experience with children. With small groups and staff available day and night, campers receive close attention, encouragement and support throughout their stay.
One of the things that makes Wickedly Wonderful so special is that many of our staff were once campers themselves.
Why kids return
Many children return to Wickedly Wonderful year after year, and some later come back as staff.
Parents tell us their children leave camp more confident, independent and full of stories to share.
For many families, Wickedly Wonderful becomes a much-loved part of summer.
Safety & care
Children's wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
Our staff are carefully selected, DBS checked and trained to provide a safe and supportive environment.
Small group sizes allow us to give every child the attention and care they deserve.
Once a camper, always a camper
Many of our staff first experienced Wickedly Wonderful as campers themselves, and we love welcoming enthusiastic young people who share our passion for adventure, the outdoors and working with children.
Whether you're looking to gain experience, develop leadership skills, volunteer as part of your Duke of Edinburgh's Award, or explore future opportunities with our team, we'd love to hear from you.
Working at Wickedly Wonderful is a rewarding opportunity to build confidence, make lasting friendships and help create unforgettable summer experiences for the next generation of campers.

What past campers say:
"... I made some of my favourite childhood memories on your summer camp and it has encouraged a deep love for outdoor activities, hiking, camping and a general appreciation for nature. I would absolutely love the opportunity to rejoin you for another adventure, this time as a hired helper to assist in giving the next generation as good of a time as I had..."

"... I attended Wickedly Wonderful with my sister for 2 summers from age 7 and it created some of the happiest memories of my childhood. I did the Pony camp both years which I absolutely adored. I think back very fondly at all the time spent outdoors in the fresh air and particularly my relationship with the staff as I was quite a shy child. The adults looking after us, many of which I recall to be around my age now, were so kind and fun to be around and I would love now to help out myself to give the children the same happy experience I had...."
