Food
Food will be available again at the camp this year. We will be able to cater for lunches and evening meals. Tea coffee and drinks for the kids will be available again from the kitchen.
We are hoping to create a wonderful community atmosphere at this camp whereby everyone has a chance to offer whatever skills they may wish to input.If anyone would like to bring along an idea for a session or workshop please get in touch and we will do our best to make it happen.We would love to be able to offer the opportunity to draw out your talents.
We also have had the offer, from Sarah, to facilitate a home education discussion forum. Sarah has had experience of this all over the place in this country and abroad. We will provide a small marquee for this to take place and it`s up to you to get involved if you like the idea.
We will be running a stall at the camp selling all kinds of bit`s and pieces including a large amount of army gear in small sizes. We will also be running a larger shop selling basics to stop the need for running down to the village so often. We also plan on having an open market day so if you have anything you want to bring and put out to sell then please do, the more the better.
Craft
5 full days of craft events.
The craft sessions will take place in our large craft marquee and will be run by experienced craft leaders from the C.L.A.S Group.
The vast majority of our crafts are done with recycled materials and junk to reflect the environmental theme of the camp.
The sessions are:-
- Mesoamerican backstrap looms which will run throughout the week.
- Tin insects for the older kids/Foam peg bugs for the youngsters.
- Aztec feather fans and The eye of god, 2 weaving sessions involving wools yarns and sticks.
- Tin can lanterns for the older kids/Fairy lanterns for the youngsters.
- Willow weaving of the sun, moon and stars.
- Felted hair bands and bangles along with shaking dance sticks for any boys who don`t fancy the felting.
We are also going to run 2 events from last year:-
- Recycled plastic bottle flowers, as the kids couldn`t get enough of them.
- Bottle rockets. The weather was against us last year and this is a fantastic session when your rocket reaches 50 feet plus, unimpeded by strong winds!
