Impact & reporting
Situation
For many families sending their children off to camp causes many issues relating to the affordabaility of kitting out their child with new footwear, sleeping gear and wet weather gear. Peer pressure means the young person wishes to attend the adventure, and familes get into conflict when equipment cannot be borrowed or purchased, resulting in the young person missing out on the activity.
Solution
The Big Adventure will develop a pool of camping equipment that enables all young people to attend the activity. This resource will have sleeping bags, roll mats, torches, hiking boots, rucksacs and wet weather clothing. Full and partial kits can be borrowed to enable more young people to access camps and residential experiencies, meaning all young people can take part in their big adventure.
