We're excited to remind all members that the UKSN Summer Camp is taking place from 30th August to 1st September at Rough Close Scout Camp in Coventry. It's the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, practice your bushcraft skills, and enjoy a weekend immersed in nature.
When you arrive, simply look for Laura, who will be on hand to get you signed in and help ease you into the weekend. Whether you're new to UKSN or a long-time member, Laura will ensure you’re all set to start your camp experience without a hitch.
Camping spots are flexible, so you can choose to pitch your tent either on the field or in the surrounding woodland area. We do ask that you maintain a distance of about 10 metres between tents unless you're camping with a group. This helps everyone have a bit of space while keeping the atmosphere friendly and communal.
Feel free to arrive at any time on Friday—whether you're early in the morning or later in the day, there will be plenty of time to set up camp and get comfortable. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there and sharing another fantastic UKSN camp experience.
See you at Rough Close!
