Catered camps
At these full week camps, all your meals are provided.
Campers help with various tasks to keep the camp running smoothly. For example, for one day a week you will probably be on the kitchen squad. Don't panic! There are menus and a caterer to make sure you're doing it right, and it can be great fun. If you really don't want to cook there are plenty of other small jobs to help out. One of the joys of these camps is the shared communal cooking and eating where many people make strong and lasting friendships.
Self cater camps
At these camps you provide your own food or go to the local pub. There is a hall for the usual camp activities and an adjacent field for camping. Many weekend camps are specialist e.g. for dancers, musicians, singers – but anyone is welcome to come. This means there will be several workshops during the day as well as a ceilidh in the evening.
