Whilst the camp is used term time by Salford school parties, there are a few vacant weeks available during school holidays, SATs weeks etc. The camp would make an ideal venue for Cub Scout or Brownie Pack holidays. Any organised party of Salford children, adequately supervised is eligible to use the camp, though priority is given to Salford primary schools. If your organisation might make use of vacant weeks
Please email ted@salfordcamp.org.uk
