Summer Camp 2017

Posted on August 3rd, 2017 by Carl Gaskell

The rain didnt dampen spirits on what proved to be another amazing and successful Summer Camp to Snowdonia 2017.

Ups and downs abound, this year the 50-strong campers scaled Wales highest peak, and abseiled, zip-wired and traversed through one of Britain’s deepest slate mines with equal aplomb.

And when the weather wasn’t wet enough, off they went in search of a more extreme drenching – turning their hands (and feet) to Gorge Walking, Kayaking and fabulous White Water Rafting.

To wrap around this, all the usual fun – cooking on fires, hiking around the local beautiful lakes, trips to local towns and beaches – and you can imagine everyone (leaders especially!) came back in high spirits but in good need of a rest!

Enjoy the Summer Break everyone, and see you back in September!!

Summer Camp 2016

Posted on August 29th, 2016 by Carl Gaskell

Phew!! What a week!
We’ve all just returned from our annual Summer Camp, this year held near Brecon in South Wales.

The Summer Camp is one of our favourite camps each year. It combines both the Scout and Explorer sections at 3rd Reading, and being a week long, provides us with plenty of premium activities and opportunities for fun.

This camp was no exception, with White Water Rafting, Caving, Gorge Walking, Air Rifle Shooting, a visit to (and under!) Ystradfellte Waterfalls, Swimming, Funfairs, beach BBQs, cooking competitions, and of course the ever-popular Party Night, which this year went with a ‘Bling’ theme.

This years camp was a ‘Green field’ camp, which was fabulous and really took us back-to-basics – just a tap on a farmers field for clean water, and a nearby stream to paddle in. We were under canvass for everything… including the bathrooms! But the Scouts and Explorers loved it, and as the weather was reasonably kind to us too, we had plenty time to enjoy the sun and the great outdoors.

And now for a well-earned summer break… see you in the Autumn!!
