Summer Camp Take Down
Thurs 25th – Fri 26th Aug
#DKC2022
It’s time to take down Camp again for another year after a wonderfully successful 5 more weeks of Summer Camp!
When: Thursday 25th August (from 4pm); Friday 26th August (from 8.30am)
After a wonderful 5 weeks of Camp this Summer, it’s now the responsibility of all our volunteers (plus any family and friends you can persuade to come along) to take down Camp and safely pack it away again for another year.
Call Chris Edwards on 01332 498 558 to get involved!
Taking down Camp takes all sorts to complete a whole host of varying tasks – from the most physical or technical (dropping marquees and un-installing gas & electrics) to the lighter work involved (clearing the kitchen, sorting the welfare) and packing everything away neatly in the barn. So there really is a job for everyone – no matter how strong, technical or otherwise you may be!
Over 150 volunteers have enjoyed a week on Camp this year and it is the responsibility of us all to help ensure it goes way safely at the end of the summer. Whether you are a volunteer on Camp this year or are just interested in helping out, we would love to have you join us for takedown.
Helpers during the takedown are welcome to join us to camp over night on the Thursday evening (no camping fee) and everyone will be well fed and watered throughout!
With everyone’s help, Takedown is great fun, a fantastic achievement and a wonderful way to round up the DKC summer and share a few stories from your Week of Camp!
Call Chris Edwards on 01332 498 558 to get involved – we’d love to hear from
Health & Safety during Build & Takedown period
Please note that during the Camp Build & Takedown period, everyone on site is expected to wear sensible and safe clothing. Strong / protective footwear is recommended, no open-toed footwear is allowed during this period.
Gloves can be provided, but if you can provide your own, that would be a great help.
Upon arrival on site, all helpers must report to the Camp Takedown Co-ordinator for a H&S briefing and to be tasked with the best activities to suit your abilities.
All Build / Takedown helpers are advised that there are heavy loads to be moved and nothing should be attempted without assessment and assistance where required. Technical work and installation will only be undertaken by qualified / specified persons.
