Camp Together is an International camp, held in Northumberland every two years. The next big Northumbrian adventure will take place from Friday 26th May until Monday 29th May 2023, as Northumberland's big adventure camp returns for a long weekend filled with fun, laughter, adventure and so much more!
Everyday adventure is at the very heart of Scouting: spending time away from home, the participation of outdoor & indoor activities, teaching young people #SkillsForLife, building confidence and gaining independence, as well as making new friends from all sorts of backgrounds. It is the aim of the Camp Together team to celebrate everything that is great about Scouting and Guiding in one long bank holiday weekend of camping!
SSAGO's Role At the Event
As a member of SSAGO, you have numerous options of how you can spend your weekend!
- Volunteer for the weekend, with SSAGO Support, joining the staff team helping deliver the event!
- Be a participant, taking part in all of the programme alongside other Network & Inspire members!
- Do a mixture of volunteering and participation, so you can get the best of both worlds!
- As a leader, bring your section along to join in the fun!
Booking
Official staff bookings are now open on the Camp Together website, for anyone wanting to just volunteer or do a mix of staff & participant roles. You can also book on solely as a participant too.
More information on this is available when you start the booking process on this SSAGO event though!
Costs
As members of SSAGO, you will be booking on under the Adults/Young Leaders/Staff Category, which is priced as follows:
- Self-Catered Early Bird - £22
- Self-Catered Standard - £25
- Catered Early Bird - £45

Accomodation
This camp takes place on a farmers field, and as such there is no inside accomodation. It is expected that most people will bring their own tents, however there is a tented village option available at an additional cost (£5pppn). There will also be a seperate area adjacent to the camping field for those wishing to bring caravans or motorhomes - doubtful a SSAGOer will have one, but it's there as an option!
Brining your section
If you are a leader with a section, you are welcome to bring them along to the camp too! The camp is open to youth sections in both the Scouts and Girlguiding, as well as international equivalents.
