The OMV provides the British delegation to the annual “Order of Malta International Holiday Camp”, which is hosted by a different nation for a week during the summer.

Over 450 disabled guests and helpers from 20 different countries, in Europe and beyond are involved and the idea is to give the disabled guests a chance to share and experience the culture of another country with like-minded people.

In 2010, for the first time, “Team GB” hosted the Camp and the theme was: “All you need is Love”, inspired by The Beatles' song; it was an unforgettable week for everyone involved.

The brilliant videos capturing the amazing atmosphere are still available at: vimeo.com/ihc2010.

This year the IHC was hosted by Italy in Lignano Sabbiadoro; highlights included a trip to Venice, hours of sun on the beach and rides in a fleet of Ferraris. See all of the photos and videos at www.maltacamp2011.it

The “Team” usually comprises of about 20 people, which means Helpers are caring for Guests on an almost one-to-one ratio.
Throughout the week the Guests are given opportunities to try activities that might not normally be accessible to them including; Sailing, Horse Riding, Scuba-Diving, a flight in a light aircraft or Hot Air Balloon. There are also awesome discos each evening that are the highlight for many of the Guests, as wheelchairs rock n’roll the night away.

The next Camp is being hosted by Hungary, just outside Budapest from 4th - 11th August; the OMV Team will be organised from January 2012.
