Number of days to Year 8 Camp 2024

Can you sponsor Year 8 Camp 2024?

We're seeking support for our wonderful Camp 2024, this July 8 - 14th. Year 8 pupils have a whole week out of school in a beautiful parkland setting, Ashburnham Place in Sussex, where they are free from the trappings of normal life: camping, wild swimming, climbing, canoeing, BBQ and music, midnight trails and even axe throwing.  Life couldn't be more different than here in Swindon, AND the pupils don't even have their mobile phones to distract them - its a truly memorable trip.

You or your workplace can help us by sponsoring any of the activities on offer, or you could make a general donation. To express our thanks we will post your business logo and/or website below, and include you in PR and social media. Its a good opportunity for your organisation to receive acknowledgement for supporting our school community.  Thank you in advance!

How to Sponsor us:

Last Year's camp was a blast! Take a couple of minutes to view the video here. Everyone has a go at all the activities, many of which they will never have tried before, and require specialist instructors and equipment. We even take them to the seaside, and hold a party on the final night.

You can make a donation as an individual, or your workplace can sponsor us. We have loads of things you can support: from the price of a coach, one of the activities, or you can pay for an individual student who may otherwise be unable to attend (they will remain anonymous). 

Please use this form to tell us how you'd like to support us. You can email Mr Warren who is organising the Camp with any questions, and send him your logo (if applicable). His email is: nick.warren@swindon-academy.org
