Raywell Working Explorer Camp

  • 21st – 22nd January 2017 – Raywell Park Activity Centre, Riplingham Road, Raywell, HU16 5YL
  • 9am Saturday – 10am Sunday

The past two years of Raywell work days have only seen a small number of volunteers attending. Therefore, Raywell are allowing free camping, free Wi-Fi, free Saturday tea and an all weekend long campfire for Explorer Scouts on the condition that there must be at least 20. The work days are not difficult days usually just emptying old buildings, cleaning, litter picking, replacing broken equipment, garden work, destroying / dismantling old buildings and building a massive fire to burn everything we don’t want anymore including doors, tables and occasionally the odd medical hut.

Everyone should be there for 9:00am (if you are going to be late please let us know) when the workday will begin it usually runs until around 3 – 4pm, with a lunch break during that time. After the work day, we will have a social evening sitting around the fire and playing games / challenges such as the ones familiar to young leaders or whatever suggestions are put forward.

The camp is FREE. This includes; indoor accommodation in the Nyeri Centre, WiFi, and food Saturday evening.

A donation of £1 would be appreciated for Sunday breakfast.

You will need:

  • Usual camp attire, such as sleeping bag, pillow, onesie, etc.
  • Clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and bring spare!
  • A packed lunch for Saturday.
