Enrolment Update
KAMP 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Dear Parents and campers,
After weeks of waiting, hoping, planning and replanning, we are forced to concede that Kamp 2020 cannot now take place. TRAC, our site providers refuse to hire out their premises to us (or anyone) under any circumstances, and a few enquiries into similar places yielded the same result. Despite the government's 'unlocking' of campsites and hostels from 4th July, it remains against regulations for meetings of more than 30 people to take place anywhere. The National Youth Agency, the umbrella organisation regulating youth activity in England also recommends only 'online and digital' youth services at this time. (Funnily enough, there is no National Pub-Goers Agency that mandates the same to their members!)
Anyway, all this means that we simply can't have our beloved Kamp this year. TRAC have already confirmed our 2021 booking : 27th July to 7th August 2021 so we all have something to look forward to! As I mentioned earlier all camp fees paid for this year will be refunded forthwith, unless you decide to leave it in lieu of next year. If you do decide to leave your money with us, your children will benefit from a confirmed place and no fee increase in 2021.
I would be very grateful if you could write back to me and confirm the following details:
1. Have you paid yet, yes or no?
2. If yes, by what means, ie bank transfer, PayPal, cheque
3 How much have you paid?
4.Do you want a refund or leave your money for 2021?
If there are any other issues with payments, please write back and say what it is.
It remains for me to reiterate how very disappointed we all feel at this outcome, We know that many of you come to Kamp year after year and no doubt were really looking forward to seeing your friends again after months of lockdown and social restrictions. We feel your pain and thank you for your love and support!
With love in Christ,
