Winter 'Space' Camp 2014 - There is life on Mars

Building upon the huge success of Winter Camp 2013........ Stand by for blast off! 5....4....3...2....1....0  here comes Winter Space Camp 2014!

At the beginning of the year we promised that due to summer camp in Kandersteg there would only be one other camp this year. This is it. So don't miss out on the second best (only to summer camp), fun packed weekend of the year.

This year (Jan 2014) we will be holding a Space themed winter camp, with lots of space related activities and adventures. The camp will be held at Skreens Park Chelmsford (same place as last year) and we hope we have a little less snow this time. We have planned a packed weekend of action and adventure for your young Scouts and we will be staying in the fabulous luxury of the Tinley Centre a centrally heated fully equipped purpose built activity centre at one of the countries best Scout Camp Sites. Details for the camp are as follows:

• Start: Friday 17th of January 2014 at 8:00pm
• Finish: Sunday the 19th January 2014 at 12:30pm
• Location: Screens Park Activity Centre, Screens Park Road, Roxwell, Essex CM14NN.
• Map reference: T08456436025 or T07840883402
• A kit list is at the bottom of this page and will print on a separate sheet

The Cost has been kept the same as last year, £45.00 after working very hard with the staff at Screens park to keep cost down, making this camp even better value than last year.

Activities to include building and launching a working rocket, taking part in a "space mission", air rifle shooting, climbing a space mountain, a mars rover mission (AKA a hike) and plenty of fun and games. But that's not all, included in the price is the fantastic 4 star cooking of our very own Little Chef, the diet doctor himself. The one and only Dr P!
