Family Camp 2016 took place at Gilwell Park from 20th to 22nd May. Over 85 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Parents had a fantastic weekend of activities with an Olympic theme.

Friday night was camp set up and quiz night. 2 sessions of activities were organised for Saturday morning with choices for everyone including kayaking, raft building, archery, climbing, pedal karts, grass sledging, zip wire, 3G swing, areoball and crate stacking. After lunch was the mini Olympic challenge followed by tea to celebrate the Queens birthday. A fantastic BBQ and bonfire rounded off the evening. Up early on Sunday morning for a 3 mile hike in Epping Forest and returned to a full English breakfast.

Next years camp is booked for 9th -11th June 2017 at Gilwell.

Now you know why we ask parents to pack plenty of spare dry clothes when the leaders cannot be trusted to stay out of the water….
