Sixteen Cubs, four Leaders and one Young Leader from 2nd Onchan Manannan Cub Pack spent the weekend at Ardwhallan Outdoor Pursuits Centre over the weekend 19. – 21. November 2010.
On the Friday Night after a quick briefing and splitting the Cubs into groups for the weekend, Gryffindor, Slytherin & Ravenclaw, it was off the nearby plantation for a few Wide Games, then was a quick Navigation Hunt to find the Letterbox near St Luke’s Church. Once back at Ardwhallin we had a supper in a very smoky Viking Longhouse before finishing off some more Wide Games in the field before heading back inside.
On the Saturday morning after breakfast we split up into three groups and went on the Low Ropes Course & worked how to use the Cheese Cranes, we did some Archery, and Climbing and also a Blind Fold Sheep Trail. It was then time for lunch, which went down very well with all the Cubs & Leaders. After lunch we completed time trials on the Assault Course before finishing the day with some orienteering. After dinner, we had a few quiz questions before settling down to watch a couple of movies, then it was time for bed as most of the Cubs were falling asleep.
Sunday morning was another early start for the Leaders & the Cubs, for breakfast was Bacon Butties which went down a treat for everyone, we worked through Challenge Bases in the morning and also did a wet Assault Course before getting changed into dry clothes and getting ready for lunch. After lunch we talked about how the Camp and went and all the Cubs thoughts on how we did and what things they would like to do in the future. It was then a quick tidy up of Ardwhallin before returning home.
A few comments about the Camp from some of the Cubs and Parents were: ‘thank you very much to you and the leaders for giving up your time to give the boys such a great weekend, Toby had a great time. ‘ Thanks to you all for a great Camp Conal really enjoyed it. ‘ Thanks Andrew, Lewis had a great time at the best Cub Camp I’ve ever been to in my whole Cub Camp experience’ ‘ What an amazing time I had & thank all the leaders for making it so good fun’
Thanks to all the Leaders who helped run the camp – now it’s time to have a rest before the next Cub Camp in early 2011.
