This year from all over the country (and indeed, the world) DFs will come to a valley deep in Devon. A stone’s throw away from Exeter, surrounded by forests and hills, there is a sunny meadow soon to explode with brilliant colours and inspirational ideas. Prepare to meet new faces, build solar showers, sing at firesides, fashion pots, tell stories, create art, make adventures, guerrilla those gardens, dance those feet and span that world with friendship…
…because this is the Camp of DFs, and this is what we do best.
Be there and back for £65 if you book before July. (Thereafter, £75)
Includes fairer fare pool.*

Got a brilliant idea that you want to share?
Want to run a workshop, coordinate a wide game, set up a centre?
We need anyone and everyone who wants to get involved to get in touch! In particular we need KPs (cooks) and KEs (Keepers of the environment) as well as anyone who wants to be involved in making this event magical.
Big love and blue blue skies, DF Camp X
*Fairer fare pool is a system to make travel costs to events a little bit fairer. The £5 toward it is included in the price of DF Camp, but if you want a chance of getting some money back it’s really important to write on your booking form a rough estimate of how much your travel costs will be.
For travel estimates, the nearest train station will be Exeter Central (easiest to get a bus from there) or Exeter st David’s. Coaches to Exeter City Centre Bus station are also a cheap and a convenient way to get to camp. The bus to the site itself should cost no more than a few pounds. Further detailed instructions for travel will follow in due course.

The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
The DF movement also meets up on a national basis frequently, to hold both social, educational events and business events allowing everyone to be involved in the running of DF's...
