While the cheep fee is £95, becuase we get some late bookings the total amount that we get includes the late bookings fees and the money from grants, TREE, General Council and other income..

You can see that General Council has agreed that last years surplus can be carried over and that is subsidising the camp by £14 per person so that we don’t have to increase the fees.

On the expenditure side, the biggest cost is your food (the one in orange) – now you wouldn’t want to go hungry would you! Next we have site fees (we are charged £3 per person per night) and then on top of that the money for programme and also the admin of making the camp happen.

Not of all of the money can be spent on anything, we have got some money from TREE and the Big Lottery and also have applied to the Cooperative and the Council of Europe for money, these can only be spent on the activities which they have agreed so while we may seem like to we have a lot of money the money that is free to spend on extras like fireworks or bands is limited.

We also want you to know about the camp before you get there. That is why we will be posting news related to all our centres here. At the moment you can only see 3 centres in the right sidebar, but we will be adding more and more in the next few days.

Please bear in mind that we are still working on site, so many features will not work for a few days. Everything should be working 100% in about a week.

However, we would love to know what you think about all this. The best way to have your say is by emailing vcamp@woodcraft.org.uk or just leaving a comment below. That simple.

Blue skies!

As you have probably noticed (unless this is your first time here) we have a new site! It is really exciting to reveal this new design, with hundreds of new functionalities. Let’s name some of them.

Comments, now you can give your opinion in any of the news that we publish. Start complaining/cheering/discussing/supporting now!

Did you have a look at the pictures? Yes, that is right. Now we have a pool in flickr that will display all images in this website. Anyone can upload pictures to the pool, so come on! Now, please remember that we will only accept pictures from previous Venturer camps in the pool, do not try to upload anything else…
If for any reason you want to access the previous design, you can! We weren’t gonna delete anything, of course. Just go to the VCamp08 site and you’ll find everything like it was…

Ok guys, please remember that we will be changing some stuff around in the next few days, so do not scare if suddenly everything fails (hopefully this won’t happen…). And come back soon. We have just started!
