Camp has always been the highlight of the year! Boys in the Company and Senior Sections enjoy a week camping each year. We normally go to camp during the six week summer holidays.

Since 2001 we have had a joint camp with our friends from 1st Newport Company. Previously we enjoyed many great Camps with the 59th Manchester Company. Recently we have spent a week under canvas in Wales - either in Pwllheli or Dyffryn Ardudwy.

At Camp we take part in many exciting activities, including deep sea fishing, mountain biking, day trips, archery, sailing, kayaking, hiking and pony trekking.

Each day reveille is played at 7.30am, sometimes earlier! After breakfast we have tent inspection, which is then followed by morning worship. Activities will then follow thought the day, activities vary from year to year but they always help foster a sense of team spirit and achievement.

Competitions are run during the week for best tent, best 1st year camper and best camper. During the week Boys work hard and are always enthusiastic and keen to take part in the many different facets of Camp.
