Ratskin... is basically Dragon Skin in reverse. Venturers set up and run interesting and challenging bases for Leaders, Rovers and other adults. The Venturers are responsible for every aspect of the weekend except how the adults camp, so the adults get to unwind and relax (after the Venturers have their way with them). It's also a static camp, bring the comfy bed.
This years theme is Pirates but please don't expect oceans of water, we are still a little drought affected out here.
Further details and entry details are available at the Ratskin web site.
