Quaker Campers meet each year at varying locations around Great Britain. The camp is for all ages, and provides a comfortable community atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
Catering is individual, but Quaker Campers normally hire a large field for a week's camping, and there is plenty of room for communal activities such the short daily Meeting for Worship, the 'entertainments' and the shared pudding ... very much enjoyed, particularly by the younger element! There are usually around 100 people between about 30 tents and caravans.
There is also plenty of opportunity for bonding; between adults, dogs, teenagers, and children ... and occasionally between these groups! There are normally a couple of 'convoy' trips, such as the group's trips to the Eden Project in 2001, and an afternoon of water-sporting.
