You will be at Camp for 8 days so there are a few things you need to bring to make sure you stay warm and dry and enjoy your time! Remember that you will be sharing a tent with other people and space is limited so pack your things in a way that they are easily packed up every day for tent inspection and that you can easily keep track of your belongings. You don’t need to bring the kitchen sink but there are a few essentials.

Sleeping Bag

A warm sleeping bag is essential and don’t forget your pillow and maybe a spare pillow case.

Torch

We have lots of lighting in the main marquee tent but the tents are unlit so you will need a torch to see your way around at night.

Clothes

Bring enough changes of clothes to last you a week at camp, don’t bring your good clothes although some campers like to bring one nice outfit for going into town on the last day.

Waterproof Footwear

A pair of wellies or similar waterproof boots are essential, runners will often get wet from walking through the grass on the field especially if we have rainy weather.

Waterproof Coat

Another essential is a good raincoat. Irish weather is notorious for rain and we rarely have a camp without a few rainy days.

Old Pair Of Trainers

A pair you won’t mind getting wet.

Swimwear

Towels and Toiletries

The campsite has washing and showering facilities so you will need at least one towel. Don’t forget your toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo/shower gel.

Spending Money

Parents must use their discretion as to the amount they give their child. We encourage them to deposit all money and valuables with us on their arrival at Camp. If a child does not use this service we cannot take responsibility for money lost or stolen. There is a “tuck shop” which the children are allowed to use on a controlled basis. They will have a daily limit on what they can spend. Whatever money they have left at the end of Camp they can bring with them to town on the last day to buy lunch and perhaps a few souvenirs.
