AUSTRIAN ADVENTURE 2026
The Lech Valley in Austria has been the location for eight 1st Hexham summer camps since 1989. The scenery is stunning, the people friendly, the activities are just excellent. We keep going back because we haven't found anywhere better.
We plan to take two coaches so have space for 90 people including leaders. We will spend 9 days in resort and two days travelling. All our food is provided, we just need to cook it. We will have a large chalet to ourselves in the centre of Stanzach with easy access to shops and a sports field. All activities will be included in the cost and are likely to include white water rafting, shooting, swimming in the local pools, visit to Füssen, bowling, water adventure park, high ropes, cultural day out, Wally blitz mountain coaster, Imst mountain coaster, mountain walk.
We are hoping to travel with Abbotts of Leeming who have taken us on many of our adventures abroad and know us and the valley well. We will have use of the coaches in resort and can also travel on the local bus service for free.
Estimated cost at this time is £1100 - £1300 per person. It is hoped some fundraising can be coordinated across the district to reduce the costs for everyone.
To secure a place a deposit will be required once I have sufficient numbers if the deposit is not received by due date the place will be offered to others. We will be requiring payments in installments on set dates between late 2024 and March/April 2026. Missed payments may result in the place being offered to persons on the waiting list.
Any monies paid will only be refundable if a replacement participant is found. The budget is based on 90 travellers.
The trip is open to any Scout who will be aged 10½ to 14 on 29th July 2026.
