Helios ESU have just returned from their first Summer Camp, held at Beaudesert Park over the bank holiday weekend. The four day format was a huge success, with an intense programme of activities, including crate stacking, Jacob’s ladder, zipwire, geocaching, volleyball, climbing and abseiling (most of which took place with an inflatable lobster krabbed to someone’s back.
Other highlights included Joe’s many pearls of wisdom which will be added to the quotes page soon, our home made death trap low ropes course and the awesome fire on the last night.
There was however one point of sadness – Dan burst the lobster. He accidentally stood on Larry, our mascot (blow up lobster). There will however, be a ressurection soon!
The only other lowlight of the weekend included the dreadful Take That tribute band shipped in to entertain the Guides on site.
Once Padge gets round to working the magic, the photos will appear on the website, but until then you can check them out in this flickr set
Planning is already underway for next year’s Summer Camp, which will be held at Blackwell Adventure the same weekend (26th – 29th August). The activities are likely to include 250m dual zipwire, 3G swing, high ropes cowstails course (like Go Ape), swimming pool, kayaking plus other lobster related nonsense…
Here’s the form for if you want to go on the Summer Camp / Joint Camp. It’s A5 so it might print funny depending on your settings, but don’t worry about it.

It would be helpful to have deposits by the end of May please.
