Main Camp Withdrawals
Any cadets who wish to withdraw their applications for main camp need to do so by emailing the address on this website (info@suttongrammarccf.com). Refunds cannot be issued unless this formal process is gone through, as the webmaster can then check the situation with the waiting list. Simply mentioning you would like to pull out of camp to a member of staff or senior cadet does not constitute a formal request to withdraw.

Summer Camp Cancelled - Other Events Planned
We are sorry to confirm that the CTT have cancelled the summer camp organised for Swynnerton at the end of June. This has been firmly out of our hands and is a result of the continuing uncertainty surrounding government restrictions on youth and other activities. All those who have paid for a place will be refunded. We are able to offer two new events to cadets, both free of charge and open to cadets in Year 10 and above regardless of whether they applied for the summer camp
