Site Visit

The Site Visit for a representative from each troop at this year’s Aqua Camp, has been arranged for Saturday, 14th May.

We will meet at the Cricket Field at 10:00hrs before walking to the Activity area. There is no end-time and you will be encouraged to ask as many questions as you wish.


Please be aware that there are to be NO vehicles driven onto the farm for this visit. All cars must be parked on the Abingdon Road / Oxford Road.


This will be the only opportunity to visit the site before Aqua Camp and we are sure that you will have lots of questions. Please do your utmost to send a representative from your troop.


The Camp Chief and deputy, David Parry Jones with Jane Hulse, Jon Bird, Nights Away permit holder, and David Herbertson, Administrator, look forward to seeing you there.
