Camping and Adventure Boats for Youth Groups
With a capacity of 36 berths between the three historic vessels, the ‘Camping Boats’ are early 20th Century, full sized working boats; 'Motors' 'Collingwood', ‘Yeoford’ and the ‘Butty’, ‘Ash’. (A ‘Butty’ is an unpowered vessel which is pulled along by a ‘Motor’)
These boats have been set up to provide a camping experience on the canals for youth groups or indeed, any groups in multiples of 12, who fancy getting back to basics on residential canal trips around the Midlands region.
Our main users are Scout and Guide groups now that we have the correct paperwork in place, which the Scout Movement requires.
In recent years, a vast amount of new requirements have become Law regarding Health and Safety, Child Protection Procedures, etc for companies working with anyone aged less than eighteen years or considered 'At risk'.
In order to bring the 'Camping boats' firmly and legally into the Twenty First Century, 'Bespoke Executive Solutions Ltd' have used their experience as an Accredited Training Centre for the 'National Community Boats Association', to bear and now the Camping Boats are capable of offering residential canal experiences to perhaps the next two generations of youngsters.
