Camp Values
-
honesty
We all make mistakes, and that is ok, as long as we recognise this and are honest and open with ourselves and those around us. Rob and Natasha respect honesty above all other factors and nothing is unresolvable with strong honest communication… so please never be afraid to come and talk to us.
-
community
At Fit The Mould Camp we strive to create an all inclusive and welcoming community. We pride ourselves on ensuring everyone feels at home and comfortable within this community, no matter who YOU are. We want all classes and areas of training to feel safe and supportive and we have an absolute no bullying policy, so if anyone witnesses this kind of behavior during camp please escalate it immediately.
-
respect
At camp we endeavour to ensure that all campers feel they can respect themselves and others needs around them. Within camp we take an active stance on respecting peoples personal space, boundaries, and cultural and religious beliefs to create an all-inclusive camp. It is also our mission to ensure all campers show respect to the environment around us, by leaving camp as we find it and not disturbing nature/wild life while we are immersed within their habitat.
-
identity
We pride ourselves on allowing everyone to feel they can express themselves within our camp. Camp is a place to develop who you are in a nurturing friendly environment.

FIT THE MOULD CAMP
FIT THE MOULD CAMP
The timetable won’t be officially available to view until you arrive at camp. During the welcome speech you will be put into groups of 11 and designated a Role Model. You will attend all classes & activities with these 11 campers for the entirety of the week. If you have told us on your camper forms who you’re attending camp with (i.e. a group of friends) and you have requested to share accommodation with them, then we will have also allocated the groups specifically to cater to this to make sure you’re with you requested people. If you’re attending camp alone then we will have put you with others also attending alone of a similar age so you will make friends easily!
Your timetable depends on what group you are in and they vary drastically however, everyone will have participated in everything by the end of the week.
