| Baden-Powell High Adventure Camp (BPHAC) is a traditional Scout camp with a difference - it offers a combination of an excellent merit badge program and a fully-fledged high adventure program. In addition, it offers an extensive first year camper program, known as ACE (Accelerated Camping Experience). |
| The camp itself is at Walesby Forest Outdoor Adventure Activity Centre, a British Scout Association-linked property in the heart of Sherwood Forest (of Robin Hood fame – the Great Oak is a five mile one-way hike from the campsite). The camp is within relatively easy reach of the M1 and A1 roads and its location allows us to offer a full range of activities – from climbing to water-skiing to gorge walking – and provides access to thousands of acres of open moorland. Walesby Forest provides BPHAC with a range of facilities including a swimming pool, a lake, an indoor rifle range, climbing tower and obstacle course. |
| BPHAC is a patrol cooking camp, allowing Scouts to hone and improve their outdoor skills while at camp. Each unit or patrol prepares its own meals using food from the camp’s central commissary. Meals can either be cooked over open fires or on stoves. The camp fee does cover all foodstuffs and site rentals but, just in case you wish to spice up the menu, there is a large supermarket within walking distance of the camp. |
| Over the coming months, we will select and train a staff who will offer you and your unit the best possible summer camp experience. Most of our staff are well experienced and return year after year to work at camp. Eagle Scouts number heavily amongst our staff, from Instructors to the Camp Director. In 2010, Eagle Scouts again comprised half of our staff. We take great pride in developing and training a camp staff that will provide your entire unit with the best possible summer camp experience. |
