You need to bring sheets or sleeping bag and pillow, towel, toiletries, casual wear, hat, torch, footwear for a walk, musical instruments or your own ideas. Check the weather for other gear you may need.

Cost of the Camp:

The camp is fully catered. The cost is $50.00. This is negotiable in the case of bigger families or your situation. The Application Form and the finance will be paid at the camp to Richard Gooden.
