Camp Theme Revealed

June 28th, 2010

Each year Camp follows a theme which is used during devotions, the banquet, for the booklet and naming tents, etc. In the past it’s been: The Simpsons, The Incredibles, Big Brother, Finding Nemo, James Bond, Narnia to name just a few.

The theme for this year is: Up! (the Disney/Pixar film)

Up!

That leaves you plenty of time to think about what you’ll be wearing to the Camp Banquet (balloons?, adventurer outfit?). If you need a little inspiration, take a look at the official Up! website or WikiPedia for everything you could wish to know.

See you at The Pool Party this Sunday!!

Important Information

June 18th, 2010

Over the next week we will be distributing a letter for your parents which contains all the important information they need about Camp including how you’ll be getting there (by coach), what time to drop you off and where, what time to expect you home, and the address and emergency contact details for whilst we’re away. The letter will be distributed by your Company/group but it is now available online too.

Along with the letter you will also be receiving the Medical Consent Forms which must be returned to your Company Officer/Staff Member by Saturday 9th July. It is vital that you return the form by the deadline to ensure that the First Aid Team can review and organise the forms before we go. If you fail to return your Consent Form on time you will not be able to join us at Camp. Once you’ve returned your Consent Form, if you come into contact with any infectious disease you must let us know.

Please note that the dates on the Consent Form include the Advance Party and Rearguard dates (setting up and taking down the Camp) – don’t worry, you’re still only going for 10 days.

The Camp Booklet and Polo Shirts will be produced in the next few weeks and distributed to you, and your Camp ID card will be given to you when you arrive in New Milton.

The Latest Information page has been updated with, duh, the latest information, and provides links to download both the Letter and the Medical Consent Form mentioned about.  We’ve tried to include all the information you need, but if you still have questions feel free to get in touch.

Don’t forget, if you aren’t currently on the MK Camp Email List you can join by simply sending an email to mkcamp-subscribe@googlegroups.com and we’ll ensure you’re kept informed of updates to this site and any other important information regarding Camp.
