Accessibility provisions at Camp Wildfire — how to apply, what's available, deadlines, and FAQs about your application.

Updated this week

We're committed to making Camp Wildfire as accessible and inclusive as possible for all attendees.
Below you'll find full details on how to apply for accessibility support, what provisions are available, and key information to help you plan your weekend.


Who Can Apply

Accessible provisions are available for attendees with access requirements due to a disability.
Unfortunately, these are not available for temporary conditions such as recent injuries, surgery recovery, or pregnancy. To keep things fair, we can't make any exceptions to these rules. Thank you for your understanding.


Access Cards & Application Process

To use any of our accessible facilities, including the Personal Assistant (PA) Ticket Scheme), you must complete our Accessibility Provisions Application and hold either:

  • a valid Nimbus Access Card, or

  • a Wildkind Digital Access Pass (valid only for Wildkind events).

If you don't yet have one, you can apply for a card or digital pass here.

Once you have your card or pass, please complete our Accessibility Provisions Application Form here.

Deadlines

  • Camp Wildfire Weekend 1: Friday 17th July 2026, 5pm

  • Camp Wildfire Weekend 2: Friday 21st July 2026, 5pm
