What is the Owl Patrol?

Started in 2002 the Owl Patrol UK Night time Camp has taken place annually in February at St Katharine’s, Parmoor.

Over the weekend there are arts and crafts activities during the day and outdoor activities at night. Complementing a guest speaker program and many opportunities for fun and socializing.

The camp is free to all XP patients or those with light sensitive conditions and to one parent for each patient under 16. For non XP campers we ask for a contribution (of £10 per person towards last year) the cost.
