Virtual Camp | April 2021

St George’s Big Weekend 2021

Welcome to Somerset’s County Virtual Camp 2021. We may still have to camp at home … but at least we can all do it together!

Everyone is welcome to participate – there are no age or geographical restrictions. You just have to follow the current government guidelines in for your local area, mostly by remaining at home or local and staying safe whilst joining in the fun. Even though we the camp is now over, we will leave the Camp Site and all of the activities open for you to carry on your adventure!


The Virtual Camp Site

Welcome to our virtual campsite! We have organised lots of activities for you – all of them are designed to be possible to do at home, and there is something for every age group. Just click on the links below to take you to each of the Zones, where you will be able to choose your next activity.

Parents / Guardians – please be fully aware of the safety advice and warnings given in the videos, documents and information for each activity. It is your responsibility to decide which activities are suitable for your young person and to undertake the appropriate level of supervision. Don’t forget to have fun too!
