If you're going to want to work with children with problems (I seem to remember you're hoping to train as a Social Worker) you might be better looking for some project of this kind, rather than summer camps and holidays. Working with children from deprived backgrounds or disabilities is going to be far more useful to you than happy kids with no problems.

There are plenty of summer camps for disadvantaged children and/or with disabilities, both here and in the US.

At the camp I worked at this summer almost every child there was funded through donations/scholorships/unions/social care. Many of the kids were in social care and did not know where they would be living once the camp finished.

Go to your Students' Union and ask about Student Community Action and RAG - there are usually lots of volunteering opportunities both in and out of term-time, and you'll get training and CRB checks organised for you.
