Annual Camp 2023

Annual Camp 2023

8 July 2023

CTC Boddam and Chickerell Camp, Weymouth

  • 2nd Battalion The Highlanders ACF

Due to a number of operational reasons, it will not be possible for us to provide a centralised Battalion Annual Camp in 2023.

The Battalion’s annual summer camp in 2023 will therefore take place in two distinct groupings

For our junior cadets, a range of activities will occur over Summer 2023 based at our own Cadet Training Centre, Boddam, near Peterhead, Aberdeenshire over the period 08 – 21 July 2022.

For up to 35 of our senior cadets, there will be the opportunity to join our sister Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders ACF for their Annual Camp at Chickerell Camp, Weymouth, over the period 08 - 21 July 2022.
