You’d normally expect us to do things in a certain order when it comes to camps each year – winter camp, spring patrol camps, summer camp, you get the idea – but 2016 is a bit different. Bookings are already in for summer camp 2016 because we needed to get things sorted and get a booking in place for Marra 2016 by the end of February. All the activities for that camp are run by Northumbria scouts so we couldn’t leave it to the last minute to sort out.
Winter camp is all our own work this year. Last year we went to Wintercamp at Hawkhirst and endured flooding, rain, 50mph winds, snow and sub-zero temperatures. We needed a break from that sort of thing. This year we’ll be revisiting an old favourite location when we return to Gibside Stables to do some indoor camping and outdoor adventuring.
If you want to join us, the forms went out on Thursday 7th January 2016, but a copy is linked below if you need a replacement.
