All equipment is provided but if you have any special skills yourself feel free to bring these along and wow the campers.
A great opportunity for those who would like to both learn new skills and develop their current climbing and abseiling instructing skills.

All instructors are rotad between the two activities over the weekend.

The U18 Sub Camp Team are there to look after any under 18s camping in the sub camp. Typically, they are camping without any leaders and so the U18 Sub Camp becomes a pseudo group for the weekend.
