Yorkshire Quaker Camp
Friday 8th – Monday 11th August 2025
Join us at Yorkshire Quaker Camp 2025 for a vibrant celebration of all-age Quaker community!
This fun-filled, intergenerational event will be at the Fell Edge campsite near Ilkley. This beautiful eco-friendly site includes a teepee, wood-fired sauna, composting toilets and a barn with sprung dance floor for music and dancing.
Please read these details carefully before booking, to ensure the camp is right for you.
Activities
The aim of the Yorkshire Quaker Camp is to build joyful multigenerational Quaker community in Yorkshire. We will celebrate and develop Quaker community, through shared meals, worship, music, dancing and fun in beautiful natural surroundings.
The camp will be over three nights, from Friday evening to Monday morning. Participants are expected to attend from Friday pm until at least Sunday evening, and all day on Saturday.
The camp will include a range of activities for all ages, including daily Quaker worship and social events. There will be a programme of supervised activities for children and young people. Outside these times, children are the responsibility of their adult carers.
We encourage you to take part in the shared activities as fully as you can. Everyone who is able (including children & young people) will be expected to offer service to the community by signing up for shared tasks. Some roles will also be offered and arranged in advance of the camp.
Accommodation
Participants will camp in their own tents onsite. There are no electric hooks ups, and the camping field is not accessible by vehicles. Camper-vans will need to book space on a neighbouring commercial campsite (see details here).
There are a variety of options to stay off-site overnight for those who would struggle to camp (see here). For those staying off-site, bookings for the camp will be charged at the same rates. If off-site accommodation is absolutely required due to a physical inability to camp and you need support (in whatever form) to attend, please contact us at: camp@quakersinyorkshire.org.uk
The site is managed carefully for low environmental impact, including limited water usage, composting toilets and outdoor bucket showers. The site includes rough, sloping ground and open water, although the camping pitches are flat.
No single day visitors will be allowed (unless by special arrangement). No dogs are allowed onsite except guide dogs.
Food & Drink
The camp will include vegetarian and vegan meals. We will cater for medical dietary needs, and you are also welcome to bring your own supplementary food if you wish.
Use of alcohol and other recreational drugs should be moderate, age-appropriate, informed by the law and limited to evenings only. Fell Edge is a licensed site. Smoking will only be possible in designated areas.
Cost
We want the camp to be affordable for everyone, so there are different rates according to your ability to pay. All costs are for the full weekend per person, including food, as follows:
Children under 11 are free.
Supported rate £25: This is for people in full time education, including young people 11-18, or anyone who couldn’t afford to come at the standard rate.
Standard rate £75: This is for people who can afford to pay the actual cost of the weekend per person.
Supporter rate £95: This is for people who can afford to pay a bit more to enable others to take part.
Camp tickets are sold either as a one-off payment at the time of booking or as a 30% deposit at the point of booking, with the remaining 70% to be paid by the 2nd of June 2025.
