District Camp Information

We've been asked to post the kit list for this weekend's camp, so here goes:

Campers will require: a sleeping bag; carrymat or bivvy bag; towel; personal washing gear; tea-towel; activity wear (i.e., clothes/footwear that can get wet/dirty); at least one complete change of clothes; jumper or fleece for evenings; cagoule; plate, dish & mug (preferably unbreakable); knife, fork & spoon; torch; and a rucksack or holdall to put it all in.

The weather forecast for the weekend is a bit iffy. Please make sure to bring waterproofs, and some waterproof footwear.

A tip for parents of new campers. By all means help your child pack, but don't do it for them. They need to see things going into the bag, so they know where to look for them. It's a good idea to put clothes in a plastic bag inside the rucksack or holdall for extra protection. And include a couple of spare plastic bags for wet/dirty clothes.
