UK: vegan camp in Newquay 1 to 15 August

[Guest guest]

Forwarded on behalf of Vegan Camp:

 

The 29th Vegan Camp will be held at Newquay, Cornwall, from Saturday 1

August to Saturday 15 August

 

Vegan Camp is a friendly and enjoyable annual social gathering for

singles, couples and families.

 

Each year we choose a new location (this year Newquay) with people

coming to stay from day visits to the full two weeks. Most camp on the

site but some stay in luxury holiday caravans on site or in nearby

hotels, guesthouses or hostels and visit during the day. There are

usually between 60 and 130 people over the 2-week

period, including many new faces although some of us have been coming

for 10 years or more. We often have communal meals (sometimes with a

talent show),

sing songs, camp fires (if allowed) and just general lounge-abouts. We

enjoy outings to the beach, walks in the countryside, picnics and

visiting local places of interest.

 

We are a diverse group with ages from babies up to those in their 70s,

singles, couples and families. Some people come every year and some

when we are in their area. What is consistent is the friendly, helpful

and fun atmosphere. We can draw on the talents and enthusiasm of some

of those attending to put on events which in the past have included

circus skills workshops, first-aid lessons, raw- and wild-food

workshops, rock climbing, surfing, orienteering, meditation, talent

shows and yoga. We welcome new skills or offers and suggestions. Many

children attend and it is an ideal time for them to meet other vegan

children and to see that they are not the odd ones out. Children and

adults form many friendships at the camp.

 

This year's camp is located at the delightful Rejerrah in Cornwall, near

Newquay. Close by are the Eden Project, Land's End, Flambards Theme

Park, the quaint town of Padstow and Paradise Park, to name but a few.

With Cornwall's extensive coastline there are plenty of water sports on

offer and the superb beaches of Perranporth and Newquay are just minutes

away.
