We are going back to Big Mose Base Camp this year – having enjoyed ourselves so much last time. Pictures from last years adventure and a link to the NT website can be found on our web page at:- www.woodcraft.org.uk/where/group/cheltenham/kingfisher-elfins

The weekend will cost £30 per person, we are happy to take Elfins without their parent, although parents (and siblings) are also welcome to attend. There will be no charge for children under 6 years of age and leaders will be charged £15 each. We have a financial hardship policy, which means we can support those families who are unable to afford the fee, please contact Duncan (01242 263017) if you require financial assistance.
The centre us about one hour’s drive from Cheltenham. We are unable to provide transport (this would make the price prohibitive) and so we are looking for car shares and parents willing to offer lifts or make at least one journey. We can cover the cost of petrol.
There is a good sized garden and a very pretty wood a short distance away, most activities will be based out of doors, weather permitting. There will be games and songs and the usual Woodcraft Folk types of things to do over the weekend.
The bunkhouse is limited to 20 places, although there is a possibility of hiring an adjacent residential unit with an extra 10 beds, please respond early if you or your child wish to take part so that we can book the extra space if required – there is a strong possibility this will be used by other groups if we leave it too long.
We would very much encourage adults who want to come along to be full Woodcraft Folk members – in this way we can ensure our young members are safeguarded. Please ask for a membership form.
For more information please contact Duncan Siret on 01242 263017, 07794079968 or .
