To ensure that members receive the most out of their stay, we expect all those attending to camp onsite. If there are extenuating circumstances, we will make exception in these instances but you would be required to source your own accommodation.

All pitch sizes are 10m x 7m.
You are permitted to bring your own generators or you pay for electrical hook up. If you do provide your own generator, we will have curfew times at night when these will not be allowed to run.
Only members and accompanying family/guardians can stay onsite.

Training at camp provides challenges and enjoyment for everyone and the best part is that you do not need any previous experience to enjoy all of the brilliant activities that are on offer. Come along and join in with Agility, Handling, Obedience, Rally, Heelwork to Music, Hoopers and scent work. We will also incorporate a learning programme so you can rest your dogs but find out about all things canine!
Members and their dogs spend so much of the day training that we try to give your dogs a break whilst you have team time. With eight Team leaders who are all volunteers and been involved with the YKC for many years. Each team has a team leader to inspire, encourage and help you throughout camp and it is a great chance to get to know one another and make friends. The social programme is an essential part of the Camp experience, and we have some brilliant activities lined up, team building games, BBQ night, quiz night, sports night including some great family nights for everyone on site to get involved!
