There was even ice skating and bowling on the last couple of nights.

During the weeks activities our cadets were split into two flights along with cadets from; 864 Watton, 42f Kings Lynn, 2110 North Walsham, 2356 Caistor squadrons. Cadets got to know each other through a series of team working and leadership exercises as well as the inter-flight competitions across the week.

For Cadet Liam Klingsick this was his first camp. “I enjoyed it, the museams were pretty interesting and ice skating was good… I made loads of new friends too.”
