This year the event is moving to Camp Cottermouth, a scout camp on the Cotter Road in Stromlo.
The site has a huge range of amenities including:
A small air-conditioned small hall, classrooms, and a designated first aid room.
A fully equipped commercial kitchen with cool room, and an additional 'cook out' facility.
Eight large and four small air-conditioned cabins equipped with adult size bunk beds, all of which include ensuites. They range in size from 3-10 people, with larger cabins including smaller rooms. Some cabins include facilities for those with mobility issues. Bunk hire includes a full linen service (sheets, towel, doona, pillow).
25 camp sites, a number of which have water points and power (a mix of 10amp, 15 amp & 3 Phase).
A number of large permanent shelters, which include power, and three permanent fire pits
Ample space for tourney and fencing fields, and war fighting if needed, and a permanent archery range
We have outgrown the site at Bungendore Showgrounds, and it is a great time to try somewhere new. You can find more information in our FAQ and photos of the site at the bottom of the page.
