Long Mynd Adventure Camp Volunteers (fb)

We are now only a couple of weeks away from the end of our 2024 season. It seemed like a good time to reflect on 2024 and look ahead to 2025. Bookings 44 overnight groups from 32 different organisations this season, around 1,000 young people. We have 23 bookings for 2025 already. So, as ever, the earlier you can let us know of your plans the better chance you have of getting your preferred dates. Camp Improvements The revamp of the girls’ shower block, purchase of new picnic tables, painting of the outside of the huts/main hall and tarmacking of the lower driveway into the Camp all took place this season. The driveway work was made possible by a generous bequest from the late Roger Jones and the ‘Roger Jones Way’ was officially opened in August, with friends of Mr Jones and one of Shropshire’s Deputy Lieutenants in attendance. Work will begin to revamp the boys’ shower block next month. Charitable Assistance Not all groups who wish to visit us can fund their visit themselves. As such, we made charitable donations totalling £3,200 this season, enabling several groups from disadvantaged backgrounds to enjoy the Camp. Should your group want to enquire about assistance please contact us. 2025 Pricing Our prices last increased for the 2023 season and have been held until now. We want as many groups as possible to be able to visit us and so we keep our prices as low as we can. However, for the 2025 season our prices will increase slightly - £17pppn for bunkhouse use and £12pppn for camping. Both include sole occupancy of the site and full use of all the facilities. Our website and bookings form have been updated to reflect the new prices. Volunteers While the Camp runs smoothly our pool of volunteers is shallow and we want to ensure the Camp has a secure future. Volunteer duties are not onerous and can be tailored to the skills of individual volunteers. If you can help, please contact lmacenquiries@gmail.com in the first instance. Thanks Thanks to all our 2024 groups. We know you had a brilliant time at the Camp - not only did you tell us but many of you have already got your dates in for 2025 ! (fb)
