Are you currently involved with the Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme? If so, then read on and find out how summer camp can help you reach your goals.

It does not matter what level of award you are currently working towards, the opportunities at summer camp will help you get closer to achieving your elements and in some cases, it can satisfy them entirely.

For those of you currently working on your Gold award, your residential section is completely satisfied by attending camp. Our camp directors are currently reading up on how the program works so that they will be able to sign your book at the end of your stay.

If you are 17 / 18 and are interested in work placements on a summer camp, we can arrange a “Councillor In Training” position for you. You will be required to work for part of all of your summer at the camp and assuming you do a good job, it can often lead to a full time paid position for future summers. We will advise you on the best type of camp where you can put your skills to use. This is an unpaid placement and therefore will also satisfy the residential aspect and could go towards your Volunteer element.

The skills sections on every award level can also be challenged at camp as you will have the opportunity to try out and perfect a huge range of new and exciting activities. For those of you that already have some great experience in a certain field, Riding, climbing, for example, your camp time can be used to really build on your skills. The extent to which you want to push yourself is entirely up to you, so get in touch with us and let’s find out what type of summer program would best suit your needs.

Once again, your camp director in America will sign your books or complete the on line element for the appropriate elements before you return to the UK.

It really does not matter what level you are at, heading off to one of our camps in America is a fantastic experience that should not be missed out on. No other service in the U.K. can offer you the range of activities and opportunity to develop your interests as we at Wild Packs can. Register on line today and we will get the ball rolling.

WARNING: Summer camp can become very addictive and you may enjoy yourself beyond all comprehension. We cannot be held responsible if you end up returning year, after year, after year, after year after year........... (but we will understand because we are all going back for another summer.)
