What to expect?

The camp is a 3 day and 3 night fest of Nature | Camp | Sport | Art | Music | Spirituality | Laughs.  The family gets bigger as we party together and work together to build a great environment for all ages to enjoy and express themselves.  We hope that you can pitch in with food and cleaning rotas as well as looking out for each other.  It’s as great a holiday as you can make it.  There is also a multi faith prayer hut to fulfill any spiritual persuasion that may be needed to be fulfilled.
