The Boscombe Down camp took place during the summer in 2012, t was about a 7 hour coach journey from York!
Around 4 people from different squadrons in the Wing go on summer camps so it is a
really good way to meet new cadets from other Squadrons.
The camp lasted for 1
week and was filled with many fun activities such as visiting
different museums such as aircraft museums and war museums, it was really good
fun.
We did activities during the time spent at the museum like questionnaires, and where you have to find certain things around the museum.
We got points for our flights for doing this.
Drill was also a main part of
the camp but don’t let that put you off, as well as normal drill and formal
inspection we did comedy drill, which was a competition between the two flights.
We also did sport throughout the week on
the courts provided on camp, which included basketball, netball, and running
and fitness tests of all kinds. We also did the basic swimming qualification, which
put our skills to the test.
We also went flying; it was an amazing
experience and my highlight of the camp.
During the evening fun activities were
planned such as laser tag, and a fun night exercise which put, confidence,
leadership, first aid and teamwork skills to the test! There were three
challenges to do over a period of time that had to be completed within your team;
they were really fun and challenging and by far the best night activity that
was planned.
On the last day we had a relaxed time as we went into town and
shopped and then afterwards had our camp disco where a nearby squadron joined
us for an evening of games and music and sports - if we wanted.
When we went on
daily events a packed lunch was provided, breakfasts and dinner were in a big
hall where you could talk to your friends and catch up with them. Food was
lovely and different every day but it was always tasty and satisfying.
It was
an amazing camp that I would highly recommend as a summer camp to go on!
