Where will I be sleeping?
Participants sleep in tents shared with up to 6 other people. You will probably be sharing with young people from other countries.
Will I be in an all male/female tent?
Yes - all young people in a tent are of the same sex.
Can I be in the same village and tent as my friends?
If you are coming as an individual with one or two friends we will make sure you are all in the village, and probably in the same tent. If you are part of a large group then we ask leaders to split the group across the villages, with pairs or trios of friends in each village.
Do I need a sleeping bag?
You will need to bring a sleeping bag - a warm one as the summer nights can be cool in England. We provide a groundsheet and mattress.
Is it OK to come on my own?
Yes - we have lots of young people who come to the camp on their own but go home with lots of friends. At the start of camp we make sure all the young people get to know new people in their village so they don't feel alone during their stay.
What will we be doing?
See the Programme Overview for an outline of what happens on the camp. Each year we have a theme and some activities will be linked to this.
What do I need to bring?
Just your usual clothes and toiletries for a two-week trip away plus a warm sleeping bag. We sometimes have themed events at the camp and will let you know about these before so you can bring things with you. When we have your booking you will receive updates on the programme and what to bring as we have them.
