An important part of the cadet progam was a summer camp. I'm not sure about how this was organized. Apparently school groups were combined to form regional regiments. We note that the younger boys did the summer camp along with the older boys. This suggests that there was a required summer camp each year. I'm not sure when the summer camps began and how they evolved over the years. Nor do I know how many encampments there were. There were too many schools participating for there to be one single encampment. Thus there must have been several regional encampments. Here we see a group at the Tidworth Camp in Surrey. I'm not sure about the current situation. We have no details on the camp program, but there would have been calesthetivs, incpecions, drill, field exercises, map reading, signals, and presumably rifelry.
