What is Camp America
In the summer, GLSE will be hosting “Camp America” at Cudham Guide Camp Site. The weekend will be packed fun and adventure for all age
groups. You will arrive at JFK Airport, go through passport control and
collect ballot papers for Presidential Elections. Then into the Camp to
find a theme park to celebrate Independence Day, American style.
There will be fantastic adventures to be had right from 100 Acre
Wood for the Beavers, through to many many activities for Cubs, Scouts,
Explorers & Networkers. Evening Entertainment will include the
biggest wide game we can provide, High Street Musical and Las Vegas for
Networkers.
Highlights will include the BBQ on Saturday evening, Presidential
Elections running throughout the weekend and the 8 activity areas. Come
fly a plane, surf in Hawaii, meet Elvis in Memphis, Race at Daytona,
Meet your favourite Characters in Florida and Ride on Quad Bikes. Fancy
singing, dancing – then go to Hollywood or perhaps you prefer the F1
racing, whatever your idea of fun we will have it.
