It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced leader confident in running all elements of your camp yourself, a complete beginner who would like to work with instructors to run the perfect outdoor experience and pick up some new skills along the way, or somewhere in between. Eleven Acres Scout Camp is the place for you!

Responsibilities of Hirer

In order to ensure a safe environment for all site users the Site Management Committee has set the basic rules for the benefit of all. It is the permit holders and group leader’s responsibility to ensure that all campers, helpers, drivers etc. are aware of these rules.

The site policy is park and walk. Vehicles delivering equipment and campers are to park in the car park and the campers should carry their personal equipment and camping equipment to their site. Leaders should ensure that there is someone at the car park to direct their campers to the correct camping areas. Vehicles are not allowed to drive on or park on the camping field or access areas, only in the designated car park.

We strive to keep the toilets and showers in good condition, however, if you find during the course of your stay this is not so, or discover toilets blocked or lack of toilet paper etc. then please contact a member of our team so that we can take remedial action. Please do not use the shower areas to clean off your muddy boots.
