So what does my role actually involve?

In the run-up to the camp
Thankfully most of the hard work is being done by CHQ, as they are keeping control of the design and development of the website.

As a PR team, we have a big say in what content is featured on the website. We’ll be liaising with other departments such as sub-camps, retail and activities to find out their requirements. We’ll also be contributing news, resources, photos and videos of preparations in the run-up to the camp.

We're also going to be training up around 50 Senior Section members for the Senior Section Media Team. They will be the eyes and ears of the camp, working across the following areas: Pr & Visitors/Press Escort, Website, Newspaper, Radio, Archives, Photography, Public Screens, Radio & TV.

At the camp
This is where the hard work will really start! We’re going to be updating the website daily with photos, videos, podcasts, news stories etc. It will act as a vital link between the camp and the ‘outside world’, allowing friends and family to keep up to date with what’s happening.

I still can’t get my head round how we’re going to setup an internet connection from the middle of a field!! Thankfully, the I.T & Communications Manager is in charge of that small issue!

At the camp, my team will need to work closely with the rest of the PR team to collect and prepare content for the web on a daily basis.

After the camp

After the camp, our work still isn’t done! We’ll need to continue adding content - creating an archive showcasing a week of fantastic memories.
