Nipper Camp Report 2008 Once again Camp 2008 was an incredible success. A very big Special thanks to Atlantic College Extramural Centre, Mr. Dave Cope and Staff. And the WCVA as without their support, There would have been no Nipper Camp. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful facilities on our doorstep. The Children just love the place, it’s just like Harry Potter land. We were again blessed with great weather and sunshine. Lots of enthusiastic Nippers and great Coaches. Combine all this with a fun structured Educational Programme and you have our formula for success. With 248 Nippers attending we were in for a great weekend. Our Programme worked like Clockwork and it was great to see the introduction of many new Coaches, as this is what we aim to do each year. So thanks to all clubs for your support.
Nipper Camp is the perfect introduction to Lifesaving for both the Children and potential new coaches. It is a joy to see the combination of working with children and good coaching practices. Nipper Camp does all these things and it was great to see the New Nipper Manuals helping so many Coaches.
That we are able to maintain a break even Budget. The funding of Coaches and Helpers is an ongoing challenge and we will endeavour to try to meet this expense. Awards Taken Total Awards 1534

I would like to thank both Atlantic College and the WCVA for their support. plus Aberavon LG Club for the use of their B/Q. Pat and Liz Thomas, Carmalina Ford for their generosity with supply of Burgers, Rolls and Pop. Not forgetting Neville White and the Chef Team, Chris Parry for the increased Pop Sales.
