Summer Camp 2013 Information…

Firstly – huge thanks to everyone who came to the info meeting last night.  It was a great turnout.

Anyhow – the information you’re looking for!

Summer Camp 2013 will be:

• Dates – Saturday 3rd August to Friday 16th August
• Location  – Karlstejn – about 25kms outside Prague, Czech Republic.
• Open to – Everyone in Scouts, Ventures or Rovers
• Price – To be confirmed, but we anticipate it will be a maximum of €700

Karlstejn seems to be a really lovely spot (as does all of Prague).  Karlstejn’s most famous landmark is it’s castle – more info can be seen at: http://www.hradkarlstejn.cz/en/

This year we will NOT be camping as we usually do.  We will be staying in a private hostel (no one else there – 100% our own private hostel).  This will allow a lot of convenience & easy living – allowing all the more time for great activities!

Travel arrangements are currently under discussion.  It seems likely that we’ll either fly from Dublin to Prague, or alternatively bring a coach from the Scout Hall directly to our chalet in Karlstejn.  The decision on this will be made in the next month or so – and will depend on the number of people traveling.

Huge range of activities available to us.  The ones we’re looking at right now include:

• Mountain Biking
• Overnight Canoe Trip
• Rock Climbing
• Orienteering
• Rafting
• High Ropes
• Aqua Park
• and lots lots more!!

What do you need to do now?

• Let your leader know you’re planning on going
• Get an initial deposit of €50 paid before the end of October
• Dream of the great time you’ll have!

Camp chances like this one do NOT come around too often!  Get your name down now.

Regarding numbers, we feel we will have enough of capacity, but the hostel we’re staying in does have a limited number of beds – so if the demand is more than we’ve thought, it will be first come, first served.

Keep an eye on the website – we’ll be updating regularly.

Regards,

Enda.
