I’ve received a PM to ask about the previous northern bootcamps so I thought I’d copy my answer here for anyone else considering going. Have a look at the threads for the previous 4 northern bootcamps and you’ll find accounts of each week in various degrees of detail.
The week usually entails daily trips out and about to experience life through Welsh. In the north we have always catered for ourselves after buying food from local shops and supermarkets but with regular visits to cafes and restaurants thrown in. I can imagine that, seeing as this is a more urban location, this Caernarfon bootcamp may involve a few more nights out. You can make it as cheap or as extravagant as your budget dictates.
The place where the previous bootcamps have taken place has a fully stocked kitchen (not food) with everything you need as well as bedding and towels, I hope @aran or @CatrinLliarJones can confirm that this is the case this year. You just need to pack clothes, toiletries and any personal medication (and ear plugs in case you share with a snorer … I speak from experience, don’t I @vgh50?).
If you haven’t been on a bootcamp before you’ll need to know that they are an intense, tiring, emotional roller coaster of a week but something that will change you as a person, will leapfrog your spoken Welsh ability forward more than you would have thought possible, you will make lifelong friends and you will see Wales from a whole new and exciting angle. I can’t recommend this enough, after all, I did one and went back again three more times.
If you can trawl through this you are doing well.
