Region Youth Section
Camping Club Youth is the Friendly
Club’s Section for 12 to 17 year olds,
introducing you to all the adventures
you can have while camping in the
great outdoors. There’s so much
more to camping than you may think:
spending time in the countryside,
taking part in activities and learning
how to be independent in the great
outdoors. You’ll have some great
laughs and make lots of friends with
like-minded people.
The Club’s Youth Groups are all over
the country, attached to our local
District Associations or Special Interest
Sections. Our Youth Leaders organise
many camping and activity weekends
including pony trekking, mountain
walking, rock climbing, canoeing
and so much more. You will also
learn practical camping skills such as
selecting the best campsites, pitching
tents, cooking, map reading and first
aid. You will also get the chance to
work towards, and take, your National
Youth Test, which is designed to help
you camp safely and with skill and
is a real achievement for any young
camper.
An annual highlight is the National
Youth Rally, which brings all Regions
together to take part in all sorts of
activities from sporting events, with
Regions competing against each other,
to games, fun races and discos.
Camping Club Youth members can also
attend the International Youth Rally,
held in a different European country
each year, giving you the opportunity
to travel abroad and meet Youth
members from other countries.
Camping Club Youth membership is
free, so don’t delay and join today!
