A-Z
Centrecamp at Naesbycentret
You can arrive in the middle of a week and stay as long
as you like - just notice that the staff changes on Saturdays and
scouts are leaving and new are coming.
-
You will get your own campground and you decide what you build
up.
-
You bring your own tents and cooking utensils to cook on open
fire and whatever you need for outdoor life.
-
We provide you with firewood and lend you laths to build your
"diningtable" and other "livingroom furniture" - you don't need to
bring tables and chairs from home.
Facilities at the centre
The centre is 27 acres of green campgrounds of grass and
bushes with space for about 600 scouts in tents in smaller or
bigger groups. We have a hilly activity ground and a small lake
which is very good for water activities.
On the campground are there are bathhouses
and toilets for boys and girls.
-
In the main building is on ground floor a rooml with a
nice fireplace, where the staff sometimes invite to "leader
cosiness".
-
You will find a big cooling room for groceries and vegetables,
a freezer and our small kiosk called "Biksen".
-
In "Jagtvejen" we have our Idea-workshop where you can get
ideas for what you would like to do
-
We also have suggestions and maps for hikes, sightseeing and
canoe hiking.
In our material depot you can lent all the material you
need for the activities. Furthermore you can also lent the
things you forgot back home such as spades, ropes, axes and so
on.
Provisions
We have an agreement with the local super market that they bring
out what you order. You can order from the super market during your
stay. If you wish to have the food ready at site we you arrive
we will send you a food ordering list in advance. The Danish
scouts estimate the cost of food to be about Danish kroner 35 per
person per day.
Insurance
The insurance of the centre does not include you and your
scouts.
"Bixen"
Is a small shop where you can buy sweets, ice-cream, soft drinks,
postcards, postal stamps, the centre badge, T-shirts with our logo
and other small things.
The centre staff
The centre is run entirely by voluntary unpaid Danish
scouts call the "Naesfolk's". From June to august there is a
staff of 10 - 15 Naesfolks at your service. For the rest of August
you are welcome to stay at the centre, but maybe with a more
occasionally staff to help you.
You will find Naesfolks working in the Material depot, the Idea
workshop, the Staff Office, in Biksen selling ice-cream or sweets,
by our cool food store rooms putting in the food you have ordered
by our catering system or around on the ground to help you whenever
you need it. Also the staff arrange common activities as Sunday
morning devotions, big campfires some nights, leader meetings each
day, games and maybe history hunts, and one day each week a whole
day activity for those who wants to participate.
Activities at The Naesbycentre
At the centre we have a lot of ideas and instructions for you to
use. With this folder we send you a folder describing our different
activities. Most of our activities are free of charge - only a few
cost extra as you can see later in this folder.
"Before the camp"- meeting...
On May 28th 2007 at we are having a meeting at the centre for all
leaders participating in centrecamps. You are very welcome to join
that meeting or to visit us any other day - just let us know in
good time when you will come.
Co-ordination of the activities... is necessary. When we send
you the contract we also will send you a week list to fill in with
the activities you would like to do during your camp. Please return
this plan to your camp staff leader before May 28. We will try to
fulfil all your wishes, but it can be necessary to change days if
more groups want to do the same activity the same day. Should you
during your stay wish to do something quite different, we will
naturally do what we can to help you to arrange it.
Naesby-Miljoe-Pionér Badge
The Environmental Pioneer Badge in Danish called
"Naesby-Miljoe-Pionér" is a nice woven badge you can achieve if you
participate with enthusiasm in our garbage sorting system and also
make 2 of our "Green Pioneer" activities. You will get a
"Næsby-Miljø-Pionér" diploma and you can buy the badge for Danish
kroner 10.-
Canoes
On a small stream and lakes near by the centre you can go
canoe hiking for 1, 2 or 3 days in our new 3-man canoes. With the
canoes you can get the necessary gear for cooking and maps
with many places where to pass the night - 2 of the places are free
of charge, the rest cost Danish kroner 20 per person per
night. You have to rent the canoes at an external hirer.
You should book them well in advance.
Kayaks
We have 12 small yellow kayaks to sail on our "Loch
Naes". You can book time for them at the centre.
Our "Nature Guide"... called Helen knows a lot about the Danish
nature and the environment. You can book time with her to take you
around to show you what happens in our lake and on our ground.
Churches
The staffleader can tell you about services in the Danish
churches nearby or get you in touch with a Catholic priest.

in a group.
