A welcome pack is included in the price of your ticket, upon checking in, which includes: Camp entertainments pass/club badge Prize bingo cards (let's start the evening properly with eyes down at 6:30pm for a quick game, followed by that night's entertainment) Raffle ticket - for a chance to win some great prizes. Tuck shop money/tokens. We also have a camp gift shop and a camp photographer with furry partner in crime for those essential holiday photos (available to view next morning - just like the old days).
