Summer Camp Fun

This summer has seen a record amount of cadets participating in the annual summer camps. We sent cadets & A/PO Britton to the London Eastern District Summer Camp in Buxton where they took part in lots of activities including: Indoor rock climbing at the tallest indoor climbing wall in the uk; Gorge scrambleing, Archery, Go Karting, Go Ape! , Mountain Biking, Splash Landings Waterpark and Alton Towers theme park. Everyone had a great week and we can't wait till next years camp.

We also had cadets attend the L.A.S.C.A.T Summer Rock Camp in Wales, where they took part in more adventurous activities including Rock Climbing [CDT Wheal pictured], Kayacking, White Water Rafting and gorge scrambleing. The cadets who went havn't stopped talking about how much they enjoyed the week long camp.
