Yes , we know its only November, and next year's annual three troop Summer Camp seems an awfully long way away from now.

Would you like to go Skiing or Sledging on real snow , Ice skating Kayaking, Raft races,  120 metre water slides, Aerial runway, Rock climbing, Water sports, Camping, Cooking, and a theme park too? !Then just read on.

Next year for the main and exclusive Summer Camp we have been very lucky to gain access to  'Catton Park' near Burton-on-Trent, at Catton Hall.

This is a beautiful and large private estate, with land that extends for miles and miles, often used for off road course, horse trials, county shows, and rock concerts. This site is in the very southern most tip of Derbyshire on a massive flat green field campsite.We have access to 1500 acres of land available to use, the campsite is absolutely flat, with our own river access, giving exclusive use of a massive section of river with our own island. There are also woods, hillsides, fields and off road tracks that extend for miles for us to use for activities.

The cost of the camp is (estimated) at £150 for the week, Saturday 21st to Saturday 28th July 2012.
