After an exciting and hectic first year of camp, we can proudly announce that we are opening registrations for Camp Quest UK 2010! Due to such unexpected press coverage last summer and a huge amount of public support, we will be operating two camps in 2010, with a capacity of 40 campers at Camp A and 32 at Camp B.
Overview
Camp A – Kilve Court, Somerset (SOLD OUT)
The first camp will be held from Monday 26th July to Friday 30th July at Kilve Court in Somerset. This centre will host a variety of activities, and its close proximity to the beach will mean that the children will have the opportunity to go on a fossil walk. This camp is intended to be aimed at those who enjoy walking and nature, or perhaps who suffer from a heavy school schedule and are in need of a break. Campers will be staying in rooms in a large house.
Camp B – Caythorpe Court, Lincolnshire (11 places remaining)
The second camp will be held at a PGL centre, Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire, from Monday 23rd August to Friday 27th August. Campers will be staying in a Grade II listed manor house, and enjoy access to PGL’s fantastic facilities. This camp would be suitable for those campers who want plenty of activities.
Activities
The Camp Quest activities will be held in the mornings and evenings, as was the case last year. This year our theme is the Mind, which means the children will be exploring questions such as “What does it mean to have a mind?”, “Can robots have minds?”, and “Are we more than the sum of all our brain cells?” to name but a few. In addition, we intend to hold sessions on astronomy, critical thinking, science, and much more, although our programme has not been finalised yet, so we cannot guarantee anything!
Both Camp A and Camp B will run outdoor adventure activities in the afternoons. We have agreed with the camps that those at Camp A (Kilve Court) will do one activity per afternoon and those at Camp B (Caythorpe Court) will do two activities per afternoon. We are offering this choice as we found that some of the children were exhausted by the scheduling last year. The campers certainly won’t be missing out at Kilve Court – even though there are fewer different activities, they will get to spend longer on each one.
Cost
Each place at camp costs £275, with a non-refundable £80 deposit required to reserve the place. The price includes food, board, the CQUK t-shirt, and all activities but does not include transport to and from the camp.
We are working on providing discounted or subsidised places. If you are finding the cost of camp financially unfeasible, please get in touch with us.
If you would like to donate extra to us to help fund equipment, t-shirts and other expenses, please let us know if you would like to be listed on our website as an Individual Supporter.

PLEASE NOTE: Places for both camps are being filled extremely quickly. In order to avoid a situation where too many people are sending in deposits, and we have to disappoint, please send an e-mail to info@camp-quest.org.uk just to let us know that your form is in the post, and how many children you are registering. This way we can keep track of how many places we have left and update the website accordingly. Thanks for your understanding.
