After closure in early 2014 the camp reopened in April 2015, it had originally been opened in 1926 as a poor children’s camp so the less than privileged Salford children could have a holiday by the sea. Affectionately Known as the Jam Butty camp the ‘poor’ was eventually removed from the title. It now offers holidays to school children, young carers, brownies, scouts, football teams and other groups as well as privileged children.
