Recruits Camp Information

I am aware there has been confusion around emails regarding cadets on the waiting list. All cadets who are coming on camp will have received clear confirmation of their place and will have paid. After the briefing on Tuesday, all cadets should be in contact with their ICs, the senior cadets who will lead their groups on camp. If not, please contact me immediately.

The information below reiterates what was explained in the briefing. If you have any further questions, speak to your IC or, as always, you can email me at oscarmiller@suttongrammar.school.

Travel

All cadets need to be at Sutton Grammar at 1600 on Friday afternoon with all their bags and wearing their MTP uniform and boots, which they should wear to school. School bags can be left at SGS to be collected on Sunday. You must bring all your regular books and equipment for the school day.

We will depart SGS at 1630 and travel by coach to Longmoor Training Base. Food will not be provided on Friday night, so cadets should bring food for dinner.

On Sunday, we expect to get back around 1530. Cadets will be updated on the journey and should inform their parents en route.

On Base

Cadets will be sleeping overnight in accommodation blocks on base, which are equipped with beds, toilets, and shower facilities (sleeping bags are essential). Meals from Saturday breakfast to Sunday lunch will be provided and will all be hot food eaten on base.

While on base, we are, as always, representing the two schools and the SGS CCF contingent. Behaviour, presentation, and conduct should be impeccable.
