Question 1

What type of leaders run the camp?

Accepted Answer

We are a team of volunteers aged 17 to 50+, including teachers, police officers, architects, and university students. The variety means we bring a broad set of skills and personalities to camp.

Question 2

Does my child need to be Catholic or religious to attend?

Accepted Answer

No - we welcome boys of all faiths and none. All that we ask in return is that the boys are willing to participate and respect the religious aspects of camp.

Question 3

My child doesn't know anyone - will they still be OK on camp?

Accepted Answer

Lots of boys come without knowing anyone, and they settle in well. We actively try to get everyone involved and to make friends early on.Click here read feedback from a parent whose child didn’t know anyone at first.

Question 4

Does my child need to bring any money on camp?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we generally recommend around £20-£25. There’s a mid‑week day out where boys often buy food or small souvenirs, and we run a tuck shop with snacks and drinks available between meals and activities.

Question 5

What does a typical day on camp look like?

Accepted Answer

Each day includes a mix of shared meals, team activities, duties, and time together as a group. We attend Mass once a day, and the rest of the schedule is filled with a variety of on‑site and off‑site activities that keep the boys busy, active, and involved.
