Facilities include a lodge, a lake, heated outdoor swimming pool, sports fields, hard courts and its own woods.

Who can go?

The camp is open to all young people aged 10 to 16 years. Younger children can also go providing they have a parent at the camp. Numbers are limited to 50.

Who runs the camp?

The camp is organised under the auspices of the Norfolk Korfball Association and staffed by parents and experienced volunteers, with a ratio of at least one adult to five children. There are qualified instructors for activities such as swimming, canoeing and archery. Parents, youth leaders and general helpers are welcomed at the camp to help, supervise, organise and have lots of fun. The cost to helpers is £105 to cover food and accommodation.

What’s on?

There are lots of sports activities on site including swimming, kayak canoeing, archery, rope challenge, orienteering, football, tennis, badminton, cricket, rounders, table tennis, volleyball and of course korfball. There will be excursions and trips out and competitions and non-korfball activities organised on camp. There is a big ‘bash’ at the end of the week and the chance to beat the korfball team from the coaching course in the annual grudge game.

Accommodation and what to bring
