3-Night Adventure Camp - Aug '25

The BBMC has decided to offer a 3-night Adventure Camp from Wednesday 20 - Saturday 23 August 2025 instead of its one week camp at the BB West Midland District Camping Centre at Dyffryn Ardudwy in North Wales.

We are aware that a large number of young people in the BB no longer have the opportunity to attend a summer camp under canvas or a camp that provides exciting adventure activities.  There are a number of reasons for this.  Many BB leaders, no longer have the campcraft qualification or other skills to organise such a camp, or are perhaps not able to take a whole week off work, and there seems to be no opportunity for young people to attend such BB camps without their leaders.  Additionally, many companies are not large enough to organise their own camps and do not own camping equipment.  This 3-night camp, at a fully equipped BB campsite, will hopefully address all of these problems as leaders can attend by only taking a 3 days annual leave and, if they can't do this, their young people could attend the camp without leaders from their company (assuming that we have enough leaders at the camp to cope with this and that they can be dropped off and picked up by leaders or parents).  The BBMC will arrange a programme of adventure activities (mountain walking on the Rhinogydd mountains) as well as more traditional camp activities, including spending time on the glorious beach and sand dunes at Dyffryn and swimming in the sea.

If there is sufficient interest, we could also organise one or two half-day sessions provided by CMC Adventure (for activities that we cannot run with our own qualified and experienced leaders) from scrambling, rock climbing/abseiling, gorge walking, kayaking, open canoeing and paddleboarding.  But, if these can be organised, this will increase the fees charged for the camp.

The fees payable and further details regarding the camp can be found by clicking here.
