Your Stay at HIJ

A Home for the Week

🏕 Seven nights of camping, adventure and international friendship.

For seven unforgettable days, HIJ becomes home to thousands of young people and volunteers from across the UK and around the world.

Your group will camp together in one of our vibrant subcamps, creating your own home base while exploring everything the jamboree has to offer.

Wake Up

Wake up in your subcamp, enjoy breakfast with your group and get ready for another exciting day of adventure.

Adventure

Take on exciting activities, discover new experiences and make unforgettable memories throughout the day.

Every day at HIJ brings a fresh opportunity to explore, challenge yourself and create unforgettable memories.

Throughout the week, each subcamp will follow a planned programme, rotating through a series of Experience Zones across the site. Rather than staying in one place, you'll discover a different part of HIJ each day, with every zone offering its own unique atmosphere and experiences.

Our Experience Zones are designed to showcase the very best of Hampshire International Jamboree, giving every participant the chance to try new activities, meet new people and experience something different each day. As planning progresses, we'll reveal more about each zone and the exciting programme they will offer.

From adventurous challenges and creative experiences to opportunities for teamwork, discovery and international friendship, every Experience Zone will play its part in creating a varied and memorable week. By the time you head home, you'll have explored the whole site and experienced everything that makes HIJ unique.

Designed for Every Participant

Our programme is being designed to ensure every participant enjoys a balanced and varied experience throughout the week.

By rotating through our Experience Zones, every subcamp will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of activities and challenges, creating a week packed with adventure, friendship and unforgettable memories.

Whether you're looking to challenge yourself, try something completely new or simply have fun with friends, there's something for everyone at HIJ.

Camp Village is where Hampshire International Jamboree comes together.

Located at the centre of the site, it's the place to meet friends, relax between activities and experience the unique atmosphere that makes a jamboree so special. Throughout the week, participants, leaders and volunteers will come together here to explore, socialise and enjoy everything HIJ has to offer.

Always Something to Discover

Whether you're visiting the HIJ Shop, swapping badges with Scouts and Guides from around the world, enjoying a film in the outdoor cinema or simply catching up with friends, Camp Village is designed to be a place you'll return to throughout the week.

As plans continue to develop, Camp Village will become home to a growing range of experiences, facilities and entertainment that bring the whole event together.

Main Stage

The Biggest Nights of HIJ

As the sun sets, all eyes turn to the Main Stage.

Throughout the week, the Main Stage will host a programme of headline entertainment, bringing the whole jamboree together for unforgettable evenings of music, celebration and shared experiences.

From live performances and interactive shows to special guests and spectacular closing celebrations, it's where some of HIJ's biggest moments will happen.

While you'll spend your days exploring everything HIJ has to offer, your subcamp will be your home for the week.

Each subcamp will bring together a number of groups, creating smaller communities within the wider jamboree. It's where you'll wake up each morning, share meals with your group, make new friends and become part of a vibrant community.

Alongside your daytime activities, you can look forward to a range of informal events and social opportunities, which may include:

• 🎉 Subcamp celebrations and social evenings
• 🌍 International friendship events and cultural exchanges
