Adult Training at Annual Camp

Adult Training at Annual Camp

26 July 2021

  • Cambridgeshire ACF

This year's unusual format for Annual Camp has made it easier for our adult instructors to get involved in the activities they teach or help supervise. Saturday 24th and Monday 26th have been for the adults only- to get a chance to see the activities from the cadet's perspective, and to have a great deal of fun as well!

Adults from across the Companies were joined by County staff in participating in motorcycling, archery, clay shooting, laser games, paintballing and navigation. Our Probationary Instructors will receive training throughout the whole week in fieldcraft and navigation, with the aim to prepare them for the Advanced Instructors Course later in the year.
