The NYC Cadet Training Committee is pleased to inform you that

duration of the cadet camp. We will accept no more than 2 people

are very small we may accept 2 in a boat (please check with the
organizers first).

• Food and catering
Full meals will be provided from dinner on Thursday till Lunch on

but participants must sign for any sodas. Non-members must pay for
these sodas at the end of the camp. Parents will be asked to help
by providing tea/cakes.
• Camp Mum
As well as the trainers and helpers, there will be one or two Camp
Mum’s, depending on numbers. Please ensure that you give us
full details of any child who has medical problems, allergies or
special food needs. Children should give any medication required
during the camp to the Camp Mum for safe keeping.

Please do not bring valuables to the camp such
as Walkman, cash and cameras. Be aware that things can be stolen
from tents and huts. The NYC cannot be held responsible for any
personal articles lost. Money brought for sodas can be deposited
with the camp mum.
• Sleeping arrangements
Like last year the children will sleep in large tents. Each tent
sleeps 10 children, and they will be split up according to age and
sex. Children are not allowed to bring their own tents to sleep
in, as we can keep much better control on them if they’re
all together. The camp Mum and other helpers will camp next to the
children.
• Arrival and Boat rigging
- On arrival, we would like the children first to be checked
in with the Camp Mum. Please give her any details on medical problems,
or medication requirements during the camp.
- Then we’ll need the parents to help sort out their child’s
bedding.
- Boat rigging should then take place, assisted by the parents.
Instructions should be given to the children as to where every
thing is kept.
This should take us up to 5:00pm, and at this time we would like
all the parents to leave, so we can get started.
• Collection
Parents must arrive at 3:30 on Sunday to help the children derigg
their boats. At 4:00 there will be prize giving and then tea.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. And
if you are willing to help with catering, please let me know as
soon as possible.
I look forward to seeing you all there.
Kind regards
Rowena Rudd
(Cadet Coordinator)
