STAMCAMP 25

Bookings for Stamcamp 2025 are now OPEN.

The dates for this year’s event are Friday 2 May 1900 – Monday 5 May 1300. We are once again camping in the amazing grounds surrounding Burghley Park, Stamford and we have some amazing activities for you all to participate in at this annual event. 

Bookings are open to Scout and Guide groups both from within Stamford and Bourne District and from other Districts and Counties outside Stamford and Bourne. Please encourage your Scout and Guide friends from around the District and further afield to book on and join in with the fun. 

New for 2025 we will also be running an Explorer and Ranger sub camp. This will be for Explorers and Rangers to camp together in their Groups and to be part of the Stamcamp team not only to be able to have fun enjoying and participating in activities but to help run activities, crafts and even help with the site services to give them an introduction of what being part of a camp team is like. There will also be a special evening programme for them to take part in.  

Bookings close on 31 January 2025.
