Dates, times, location

Camp starts at 4pm on Friday 24th May and finishes at 3pm on Tuesday 28th May. Tuesday is a packing up day and a final circle. We need people to stay and help tidy up too

Location: Ashen Plains Camp site, nr Dursley

We welcome everyone to camp 

Attending all four nights of camp gives the best experience of camp and ensures the Clan system runs smoothly and that friendships can blossom.

 

Clans

Everyone attending (whatever age) helps with the daily tasks of running the camp, within a team which we call a Clan. These are sorted out before camp and made up of a mixture of people of all ages and experience.

Each clan has one duty a day: cooking, washing up, toilets, water, cocoa. We like to put families into different Clans so that children get the chance to be independent and learn and interact with different ages and people, not just their parent.

Food

All food is provided except dinner on Friday evening. Lunch will be provided on Tuesday before we leave the site.

Healthy plant based food is provided for breakfast, lunch and evening meal.

Please ensure the dietary intolerances/allergies are filled out on the booking form.

It is very much appreciated that preference isn't decided once on camp as our wonderful chefs need to ensure the correct type and amount of food is available for those who have stated allergies/intolerances.

Phones

We encourage mobile phones to be left at home as the young people will be busy having too much fun. If adults can use theirs discreetly when it is necessary.

It's a good opportunity for young people to switch off from the distraction that social media/ phone use can become.
