As always, Summer Camp is a very special event during the course of the Company’s year, and camp 2016 should prove no exception. So, whether you have previously experienced camping BB style or not, you are assured of a great week! Summer Camp 2016 will be located at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight, at a camp site run by the Freshwater Trust, who are an organisation made up of ex-boys, ex-staff and current Officers of the 5th Croydon Boys’ Brigade Company. The camp site itself is located to the west of the island, at Freshwater, near Totland on the coast. The Company has camped on the Isle of Wight many times over the years. 

This site is pleasantly situated next to an orchard amid carefully tended fields, with a superb view of Tennyson Down. The walk to the beach is through country lanes or across fields. Nearest popular beach is Totland Bay, approximately 15 minutes walk. Freshwater Bay is 11/4 miles, Alum Bay 2 miles and Colwell Bay 1 mile from the camp site. The beach at Totland is sandy, large and good for swimming. Stroud Playing Field and Totland Recreation Ground are both a short walk away and suitable for cricket etc.

Freshwater is the best shopping centre on West Wight and is 10 minutes walk from the camp site. Freshwater also has a modern indoor swimming pool and leisure centre with tennis courts nearby. Bus services to places of interest near and far are available from Freshwater. West Wight is doubly blessed with not only a superb coastline but hundreds of acres of unspoilt countryside to explore. Yarmouth Pier is approximately 3 miles distant. Tourist Info...
