The largest camp we will be taking part in this year celebrates 100 years of Scouting in Northumberland so should be a really special event.
Lookwide Marra is based on the Caud Marra (Cold and Utterly Daft Friends) camp which is a winter activities camp held in February that is all about fun, adventure and meeting new friends. This year, Lookwide Marra is a return to the roots of the camp which started it's life being run in Gosforth Park with around 500 campers each year. To celebrate 100 years of Scouting in Northumberland, Lookwide is the theme for this camp as it was the first official Scout Camp to be held in Northumberland by Baden Powell. This year's camp will be held on the 23rd - 26th May at Gosforth Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Activities will run all day on Saturday and Sunday with a break for lunch and dinner allowing you to return to your campsite. There will also be evening entertainment arranged on both evenings. Subcamps will also be running activities throughout both these days. This year some activities will also be held off site to offer an even wider range of activities.
On Monday activities will only run in the morning to allow for striking camp during lunch and early afternoon before the closing ceremony where presentations will be made.

All of the activities will run constantly during the activity times and participants can turn up to activities and if necessary queue until it is available for them.
As some activities (including all water activities) will be offsite transport will be provided and included in the fee for the camp. Some activities will also have age restrictions but activities have been planned for all age ranges.
Activities which confirmed so far for the camp include amateur radio, abseiling, archery, backwoods cooking, canoeing, climbing, crate stacking, quads (and mini quads), shooting, a zip line and crafts and inflatables.
