Vegan Camp 2008
Yorkshire Dales National Park
Saturday August 2nd to Saturday August 16th
All welcome any period of stay.
Welcome to the Vegan Camp page, nestling here within the pages of Veggies web site.
People stay for periods from day visits to the full two weeks. Most stay at the site itself but some stay at nearby accommodation such as hotels or guesthouses/hostels and visit during the day. We usually have between 60 - 110 people come to stay over the 2 week period. Many of us have been coming for ten years or more. We often have communal meals (sometimes with a talent show), sing songs, camp fires (if allowed) and just general lounge-abouts. We enjoy going on outings to the beach, walks in the countryside, having picnics, and visiting local places of interest.
What is consistent is the friendly, helpful and fun atmosphere, which you will find at these camps. We are able to draw on the many talents and enthusiasm of some of those attending to put on events which in the past has included such things as circus skills workshops, first aid lessons, raw and wild food workshops, rock climbing, surfing, orienteering, meditation, talent shows, yoga etc: we would always welcome new skills or offers and suggestions. We have many children attending each year and it is an ideal time for them to meet other vegan children and to see that they are not the odd one out. Children and adults form many friendships at the camp.
We are a diverse group with ages from babies up to those in their 70’s, singles, couples and families. Some people come every year and some come when we are in their area.
