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.

Native American/Celtic

Native American/Celtic Earthwork sessions running throughout the week.

We now have a full day session of native american music and storytelling planned for the Thursday. John and Pauline are superb childrens entertainers and this will engage kids of all ages for the full day. To top this off we will have an evening of native american flute music and stories for everyone.

To compliment this the twins, Hannah and Emma will be running their Celtic earthwork sessions alongside in the tipi circle. Hannah and Emma are both fully trained, highly experienced guides and their sessions will comprise the following:-
Earth awareness stories/Songs and workshops/Bedtime stories in the tipi.
Right of passage circle for 11+ using animal wisdom. Journeying using the drum to meet animal guides to help the transition from young person to teenager accompanied by a beautiful craft to connect with your guide.
Workshop using dragon flags. Getting the children in touch with the land at Pengraig through a ceremony using the flags that the children have made earlier. Teaching the children about the dragon energies that cross the earth.
