Set in the beautiful surroundings of Crawfordsburn, participants will camp together and take part in a wide range of activities, challenges and evening entertainment designed to create lasting memories.

• And plenty more

Evening Entertainment

When the activities finish, the fun continues with live DJs, discos, campfires, NIJam’s Got Talent and plenty of surprises.

Work and Play (Youth Service Team)

Scouts aged 14–17 can apply to take part in the Work and Play programme. This unique opportunity allows participants to support the event while also enjoying their own activities and camp experience.

Participants will work across three days and at least one evening supporting the event. In return, they will have dedicated play days where they can choose activities or relax on site.

Work and Play participants will be fully catered and will have their own camping area and social space to relax and enjoy evening entertainment.
