Camp 2026- Over and Out⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

That’s is for another year and what a great camp it’s been. We are all packed up and we are leaving now. Hwyl Fawr Wales, we will ask the lads to keep you updated with timings as we have managed to get on the road slightly earlier than planned.

Roll on Isle of Wight for next year’s camp…

Camp 2026- Day 7⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today was our last full day on Camp. We started the day with devotions from Tim which carried on the theme of game shows with trust and linked this to Golden Balls. We then had a few more games of the Volleyball tournament which concluded this evening.

We headed to Bounce Below this afternoon at Zip World which is a trampoline like nets underground in a slate mine. It was very tiring but a lot of fun had by all.

This evening the Volleyball tournament final was played with Team 6 coming out on top in a 3 set final. (Please see pictures of the team lists in the photos as these aren’t the same as the tents). It was then time for Theme Night Part 2 which was a Family Fortunes like style competition which Tent 3 won by an impressive margin.👏🏐

The whole week we have played the Traitors as a group with there being 4 traitors. With 3 of them only being discovered this evening and 1 of them being a winner by not being caught out. Never know who to trust👀

The Camp Vesper has been sang for the last time and it will be a busy morning with us packing up and aiming to leave here at 10:30am.🚘

Camp 2026- Day 6⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thursday was another busy one for this years camp and we started the day with ‘It’s a Knockout’ which was new to this years programme. This included games such as Balloon Burst, Egg Throw and Clean Shave.

This afternoon of course was Hunt the Officer which was a great laugh as always with all 5 tents catching the same amount of staff in the time period. This meant that it went down to a tie breaker question this evening which Tent 4 won.🏆

This evening was theme night part 1. This included the 1% Club and Balderdash. Tent 4 are currently in the lead going into theme night part 2 tomorrow night. Tomorrow is sure to be another brilliant day with it being our last full day for this year’s camp.🙂

Camp 2026- Day 5⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This morning the lads started the day with a game of rounders involving them all and the volleyball tournament continued with three more games being played.🏐

We had an earlier lunch before we headed to a leisure centre in Barmouth where we had an hour and a half with them playing football, netball and basketball. We came back to the campsite for a bit before heading to Porthmadog for an early evening swimming session.⚽️🏀🏊

It was a later dinner tonight and it has started to rain now so some of the lads are having a chill whilst others are playing chess in the marquee. Another busy day with a few tired faces. It will be hot chocolate shortly before settling down. We all know what tomorrow brings….HTO👀

Camp 2026- Day 4⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It was an early start this morning with us up and out early as we headed up to the North of Wales to Llandudno. We went to Llandudno Snowsports Centre where the boys did Tubing and Crazy golf. Unfortunately the Tobogganing wasn’t in operation today but all the lads had a great time. They then headed into the town where they had some free time to explore and buy a couple of bits.⛳️

After Llandudno we headed to Caernarfon where the lads did Rock Climbing and challenged themselves with a variety of different courses with some very impressive skills on show. 🧗‍♂️

This evening a couple more of the volleyball games have been played before competing in teams for this years Marquee Games challenges led by Lisa with all getting involved going up against their mates. Another very busy day but lots of laughs have been had as always.😌

Camp 2026- Day 3⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This morning we started the day with a morning devotions lead by Jack in relation to ‘Greed’ on game shows and linking it to risk and what we sometimes wish we had in life. We then headed into Barmouth for the Treasure Hunt where the boys in their tents had 20 questions to answer and had just under an hour to go around the town to answer all the questions.⏰

We headed back to camp for lunch and this afternoon whilst it was threatening to rain it just about held off and we headed down to the beach. Some decided to chill, some decided to play cricket and football and others braved going in the sea in what was a fairly chilly day.🌊

This evening we headed to Criccieth Multi Golf Centre up north from Dyffryn and the lads have played Golf, Foot Golf and Frisbee Golf. A couple of Balls and Frisbees were inaccurately kicked/hit/thrown over the cliff edge but were luckily retrieved. (We will blame the wind)😂😬

Camp 2026- Day 2⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today was our first full day and with heavy rain overnight meant a slight change to the programme. We began by having this mornings devotions with this year’s camp theme being ‘Game Shows’. Steve led this today on the topic of ‘Pointless’ and related to how we should see certain subjects in life and tested us with a few questions to think about.

The boys then worked in their tents for this years Incident Hike. They took part in 6 different actives including Co****le, Axe Throwing, 52 Card Pickup, Wobble Darts, Frisbee Toss and River Pass . Tent 2 came 1st overall winning 4 out of the 6 games they took part in.👏

This afternoon we had a delicious roast dinner for lunch and took a trip into Barmouth with some choosing to go into the arcades, get some souvenirs, grab an ice cream and to buy some essentials which some left at home (including some of the leaders😂🤦‍♂️).🍦

We have had the evening on site with the volleyball tournament commencing with some very impressive skills on show and some moments to forget. It’s been a great first full day at camp with lots of laughs and memories being made with mates.🤝🙂

Camp 2026- Day 1⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We have today arrived in Dyffryn Ardudwy for this year’s camp. We arrived at the campsite early afternoon with all helping empty the lorry and setting up the site.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As we are in Wales, it was inevitable that heavy rain soon arrived but some of the lads managed to fit in a game of football before it chucked it down. As the weather continued to pour down a few games of chess and other board games were played this afternoon.☔️

It dried up this evening and it hasn’t rained any more, we stayed on site with a few choosing to relax whilst others played more football for a while. The volleyball teams have also been revealed with games hopefully beginning in the morning (weather permitting). Lots of tired faces this evening after an early start, ready for our first full day tomorrow.⚽️😴

A brilliant final evening had at Juniors last night where we had games with a Chippy Dinner interlude. Boys took part in axe throwing (plastic 🤣), lawns darts, granny pants game catching beach balls and a game of Kubb knocking down opponents wooden blocks before the winners knocked over the King Kubb! A really fun evening to finish the BB year. Thanks boys and see you in September! Details of which will be sent out over the summer.
