Activity Marquee Build
Sunday 16th July
#DKC2023
It’s ‘Pre’-Camp Build time and we need all the help we can get!
When: Sunday 16th July from 11.00am
Join us for our ‘Pre-Build’ as we get the first tent up on the Derby Kids’ Camp field! Our Activity Marquee (known to many as ‘The Wedding Marquee’) goes up the weekend before our main Camp Build starts, giving us an essential bit of shelter as we start transforming an empty field into our canvas village!
We’ll be meeting from 11am on the field, with the plan to get the Activity Marquee up, the first pieces of flooring down and a little more organising done ahead of Camp Build starting!
As always with our Build period, there’s jobs to suit everyone – from heavier practical tasks through to lighter tasks like organising stock and cable tying tent fastenings.
Whether you are a volunteer on Camp this year, a corporate team looking for CSR or team building opportunities, or you’re just interested in helping us build it, we would love to have you join us!
Pre-Build will be followed up by our main Camp Build, running from Thursday 20th July through to Saturday 21st July.
Camp Build is great fun, a fantastic achievement and a wonderful way to get to know many more of the DKC volunteer team. Food will be provided throughout the main Build and free camping is available. Please let us know if you’ll be attending the main Camp Build to help us cater accordingly:
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 Build 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.
