Army cadets from the Removes year group at The King’s School, Canterbury have successfully completed a three‑day residential camp packed with hands‑on military training and team‑building activities.
Over the course of the camp, cadets learned how to operate army radios and modern communications systems, gained an introduction to cyber security, and took part in skill‑at‑arms training followed by live firing on the range. These sessions gave pupils a lively and hands‑on taste of problem‑solving, teamwork and new skills in a way that was exciting, challenging and fun.
Major Goddard, Contingent Commander, said: “The January camp gives our youngest cadets the chance to develop confidence, resilience, and practical leadership skills that cannot be learned in a classroom. Watching them rise to each challenge is always a highlight of the CCF year.”
Alongside the training programme, cadets also enjoyed social activities, including a lively quiz night that brought the whole year group together.
The camp marks an important milestone for the Removes as they continue their time with the Army Cadets, gaining critical skills that will support them both within the contingent and beyond.
