How do I know if my place is secured?
Once you have paid your deposit or full payment then you will receive an automatic email confirming your order has been received.
Underneath the confirmation and your own billing address, you will find a short paragraph confirming your place(s) at NFCC and a link to refer to if you have any further questions.
Payment and completing the booking form will automatically secure your place(s) at camp unless we have posted on social media & the website that there are no places left.
What happens when the campers go off site?
On all trips off site, campers will be supervised by at least one adult per tent group.
All campers are also given a wristband to wear whenever they leave our campsite which has the site address and two contact numbers for leaders of NFCC.
What does each camper need to bring with them?
You can check out our 'Kit List' by clicking the tab at the top of the page or by clicking the link below to download the full list.
The most important things to bring are:
- a waterproof coat
- more than 1 pair or shoes or wellies
- something to sleep on (air bed/roll mat or camp bed - please don't bring double beds as there's not always enough space in the tent!)
- a sleeping bag (and possibly a blanket too)
- clothes that you don't mind getting muddy!
What are the rules on electronic equipment?
Campers may bring electronic equipment with them for their journey to camp but once they arrive on site this will all be collected in and stored by the camp leaders to ensure it stays safe. This includes watches which give access to mobile phones.
What are the transport arrangements?
There is no transport to and from camp provided by NFCC. You can find the address of the camp site and a map on our website.
If you are unable to drive there is also a nearby train station (Salisbury) which we can arrange for you to be collected from.
Contact numbers during the week
During the week the campers will only have access to their mobile phones during the day trip to Bournemouth on Wednesday.

If you would like to send your child a letter whilst they are at camp then please address it with their name followed by c/o Mr P Curtis and then the address.
Do the campers need to bring any money?
It is entirely up to them! If they do bring money they will be asked to put it into the 'camp bank' so that we can keep it safe until it is needed. This includes debit cards.
There will be a tuck shop that is open throughout the week on site, which the children will be able to buy snacks from using their 'camp bank' funds.
Campers should not keep money on them to spend at the Water Park or during our game in Fordingbridge town.
