Jeffery Camp studied at Lowestoft and Ipswich Schools of Art between 1939 and 1940, and subsequently at Edinburgh College of Art under William Gillies from 1941 to 1944. Camp was awarded an Andrew Grant Travelling Scholarship in 1944 and 1945, and a David Murray Bursary for landscape painting in 1946.

Camp went on to teach at Chelsea School of Art from 1960 to 1961 and at the Slade School of Art from 1963 to 1988. Camp’s first solo-exhibitions were held at the Beaux Arts Gallery, London in 1959, 1961 and 1963.
