10.30am Wednesday 7th August saw 19 Cubs, 2 Scouts, 4 Young Leaders, 2 Beaver Leaders and 6 Cub Leaders board 2 mini buses, a van and a very full Vauxhall zafira en route to Eaton Vale camp site just outside Norwich, Norfolk for 5 fun packed days
.
The first job was to erect the mess tents, then a well deserved lunch break. Once the Cubs were all replenished it was time to put up everyone’s tents.
There was a very full itinerary for the 5 days including indoor wall climbing, rafting, crate stacking and abseiling. Not to mention a visit to BeWilderwood and a trip to the seaside at Cromer.
It was a fantastic camp, with brilliant Cubs, who all had a whale of a time.
Here are some of their stories :
Eaton Vale was great fun, it was the first time I stayed away from home for so long so was a little nervous but I enjoyed it so much I want to go again.
We did lots of exciting things like rafting, climbing, crate stacking, we also visited BeWILDerwood and Cromer where we swam in the sea, had fishcake and chips and ice-cream!
There was lots of food to eat on camp including Arkala’s yummy eggy bread.
I enjoyed myself so much and will hopefully get to go again.. by Lily
On the 1st day we set up our tents and had lunch. After that we were allowed to play until it was tea-time.
We then got put into 2 groups and while group 1 went rock climbing, group 2 had to do the washing up. I was in group 2!!
On the 2nd day, group 1 had to wash up while group 2 went rock climbing On days 3 and 4 we done lots of other activities, such as going to Bewilderwood, go to the beach, Rafting, Crate stacking and Abseiling. My favourite activity was in Bewilderwood and going on the really scary slide, but I really enjoyed doing everything.
We also met Eton Vales dog, Sam.
I had a great time.

To Cubs,
I had a great time at camp. I hope you did to.
My favourite parts were, Bewilderwood, going to the beach, sleeping, eating, raft building and crate stacking. I especially liked it when the young leaders raft fell apart because they hadn’t built it properly and they fell in the water. I loved being pulled to the top, in the crate stacking, and then let down super fast. The rock climbing and abseiling were also super great, I wish I could do it all again.
IT WAS AWSOME!!!
