ANNUAL CAMP, WARCOP TRAINING CAMP, 29 JUN – 06 JUL 13
Dear Parent
Your child is now invited to register for a place on this year’s Army section annual camp. Hosted
by our parent formation- 42 (North West) Brigade- the camp will take place at Warcop Training
Camp, Cumbria, and will give cadets opportunity to learn new skills, exercise their existing
knowledge and enjoy new and challenging experiences. Additionally, a number of schools from
around the North West will also be attending, and the camp will, as usual, prove to be a great
social opportunity for those involved.
Those who have attended the Warcop annual camp in previous years will be pleased to know
that there are a number of new and exciting training stands taking place, as the North West
Cadet Training Team is piloting brand new elements of the revised cadet training syllabus,
including TIBUA (Training In Built-Up Areas; also known as FIBUA).
Cost
The cost for annual camp will be £55. To reserve as place on this visit please fill in the attached
Booking Form and return it alongside the consent form attached to this letter.
Medical and Parent/Guardian Consent
A consent form is attached to this letter. This must be completed and returned to Capt Joseph as
soon as possible.
Please ensure that any medical requirements are included on the consent form, as well as any
dietary requirements. Cadets must bring any medication they require over the weekend,
including inhalers. This must be packaged in a clear, waterproof plastic bag or container with
the cadet’s name on it.
Capt Joseph should be made aware of any medical or other issues prior to departure from
School, but advance notice is appreciated so that any necessary arrangements can be made.

Returns
Completed consent forms and deposits should be returned at the earliest opportunity as places
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Returns should be made no later than 15 May
13.
If you have any questions, or would like any more information, please do not hesitate to contact
