Booking and Contributions to Camp
Inclusivity
We aim to be as inclusive as possible, if there is any reason why you feel you won’t be able to meet the requests for practical or financial contributions, or any other things that may make being at camp harder for you please let us know and we will try to make adjustments to support you.
Practical Contributions:- Meals and Cooking
Eating together is a way to make and build our connections and our community, having all food made together also relieves us as individuals from having to make all our own meals. In order to make it as much of a community event as possible and to keep the camp affordable for as many people as possible we ask everyone to take their turn in the kitchen helping to prepare a meal.
This is likely to mean each person at camp helping to prepare one meal over the course of the week, for most meals this will take 2-3 hours, for those who may be worried about their cooking ability please do not worry as all the recipes and ingredients are provided and most of what needs doing is just peeling and chopping vegetables.
We will also need people to serve meals and wash up in the kitchen, each of these tasks will take about 20-30 minutes, and everybody will need to do each task once over the week.
The camp provides 3 meals a day, plus hot and cold drinks, and fruit to snack on.
Financial Contributions
The camp aims to be affordable for as many people as possible.
We are a non-profit camp, no one is paid or makes a profit from being at or organising the camp.
Please choose the amount you are willing to contribute from the sliding scale below.
We encourage you to choose the highest amount you can both afford and give with a full yes.
We aim to make the camp available to anyone who would like to attend and any extra money you are able to contribute will help to facilitate this and ensure the long term viability of the camp.
The amounts below are all inclusive, they include all your camping fees, 3 meals a day plus hot and cold drinks, plus all the facilities at camp, e.g. marquee, bell tents and frame tents for workshops, firewood etc.
You can reserve your place at camp with a £60 deposit per adult, balance payable by 1st May.
Adults: Financial contribution between £260 and £500+
For clarity we need an average of approximately £365 per adult for the camp to be sustainable, even a small amount over the average helps us to include those who can only pay the minimum.
Children:
0-2 years old no contribution requested
3-5 years old £35 – £100+
6-10 years old £65 – £150+
11-18 years old £85 – £200+
The camp is intended to be a community event, this supports peoples feelings of safety and openness in NVC processes. The sense of community is supported by being in a group of people who are there for the whole time, new people arriving or people leaving part way through camp can disrupt this.
If you are not able to commit to arriving on the first day and leaving on the last day please contact Barney (barneyphillips74@gmail.com) before booking.
Dogs
There is likely to be at least one pet dog at camp, if you would like to bring your dog please contact Barney. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.
