Camping and hosteling are a big part of being in Woodcraft Folk. North Oxford try to take the Elfins away at least once in every season. To do that relies on parents and leader volunteers and so we encourage all parents to join Woodcraft Folk and get a DBS done so that they can come on camp too.
Spring
Elfin Hostel - in March or April we go to a hostel for one or two nights with two other Oxford Elfin groups. In 2014 we had a fantastic Iron Age themed hostel with Iffley Fields and Woodstock.
Summer
District Camp - usually in June the whole District - Woodchips, Elfins, Pioneers, Venturers and DFs - camp for a weekend. In 2013 the theme was Magic and the camp ended with the traditional wide game run by the Venturers full of magical Fairy tale characters.
Summer Holidays
Summer Camp - this is the longest and usually the smallest camp. Open to all groups in the District to camp for a week.
Autumn
Elfin Camp - usually in September - all the District Elfin groups go away for a night. In 2013 we went to Youlbury and built an enormous phoenix fire (amongst other things). You can see pictures at Iffley Fields blogpost.
