Volunteer support
Running a large-scale camp relies on the contribution and support of all volunteers. To help us deliver a safe, exciting and well-organised event, we ask each group attending to provide adult volunteers to support the wider camp operation during the event.
There is no charge for adult volunteers attending camp. In return, like most large-scale camps, we ask that groups contribute volunteer support for a short period during the event, typically around two hours. Support roles may include programme activities, site services, the tuck shop, café, and other event functions.
When completing your booking, your Booking Lead will be asked to indicate your group’s preferred areas of support. Based on the size of your group, we will allocate a role, a time slot, and the number of volunteers required. Your group can then decide which adult volunteers will undertake the allocated duties.
This shared approach helps ensure the camp runs smoothly and allows us to keep costs as low as possible while providing the best possible experience for everyone attending.
We will also be recruiting volunteers to join the team for the whole weekend. More details and a sign-up form will be available soon as well as information on a DofE Residential opportunity for members working towards their Gold DofE Award.
