Waddow Fever 2010

Catalogue number 61

This event has taken place.

Waddow Hall Training and Activity Centre, Lancashire
Saturday 2 to Sunday 3 January 2010

Billed as an 'Ultimate Survival Camp' Waddow Fever certainly felt the chill...

Over 200 Guides and Senior Section members took on the challenge of camping overnight in 3 inches of snow and temperatures remaining below zero! Some were experiencing Guide camp for the first time and even for the more experienced the snowy conditions added that extra magic.

 'We chose Fever from the Ways to Celebrate catalogue because it looked fun, different and a cool way to start our Centenary year without having to spend much money... spending the last weekend of the school holidays in the snow has been amazing!' Rebekah Diamond, North Dulwich Rangers.

Activities included low ropes, archery, trampolining, a wide game, crafts and of course sledging on bags, groundsheets, sleeping mats and anything else that was to hand! The Waddow staff and volunteers were there throughout the night to make sure the event ran smoothly and braved the subzero temperatures in the Waddow teepee.

'The craziest thing was sitting around the campfire in the snow and I loved the fireworks because we've never had them at camp before' Emily Boyce, North Dulwich Rangers.

'Fever was definitely better and colder than we expected!' 5th All Saints Guides and Rangers.

'What a way to start the Centenary off. My guides will certainly remember it for years to come and I am sure the snow just made it extra special!' Rachel Lamond, 1st Knayton and Borrowby Guides
