WRG Leaders Guidance Notes

The Leaders Guidance Note is designed to help you lead a successful Canal Camp. The information is not intended to be prescriptive, because there is no single approach to running a Canal Camp.  It is meant as a guide, to help you decide what is right for your camp. If in any doubt about the running of your camp, ask for help!

Canal Camp: Leaders Guidance Notes

As a leader or assistant you need to be able to give up a week to run the camp, have some experience of Canal Camps, and most of all be willing to look after 18 wonderful volunteers! Your main role is to ensure that WRG Canal Camps are fun, well planned and safe experiences. Yes, there’s some paperwork to be done before and after the camp, but remember you aren’t alone – you will have support from the WRG Board.
