Registration of teams for the International Cadet Challenge Camp 2009,(ICCC2009) is progressing extremely well. Already, the number of Cadet Forces/Corps expressing interest in entering representative teams has surpassed the number participating in 2007.

This years challenge camp will see participants competing in friendly rivalry in a number of competitive areas, not only on the campsite, but indeed at locations all across the island.

Another special feature this year will be a direct involvement of the camp in one of the Island's major cultural festivals -Crop Over celebrations. This will feature food, music, fun, and colourful bands on parade on Kadooment day.

A number of team have already confirmed their participation in writing, while others have indicated via email their intention to participate. The Nottinghamshire Army Cadet Force (UK), our first extra regional team, has confirmed their participation in this year's camp.

There will be no camp fee for Cadet Force/Corps personnel participating in the ICCC 09, however cadets are asked to bring some pocket money to cover any personal items needed, for personal shopping, and to cover optional tours of a number of popular tourist venues.

To ensure that this challenge camp is organized at the highest possible standard, The organizing committee has set an upper limit on the number of teams that may properly be accommodated for the camp. Should it become necessary, participation will be allocated in the order in which teams confirmed their registration.

The Commandant , officers and cadets of the Barbados Cadet Corps, are committed to an enjoyable and competitive ICCC 2009, and invite full participation by all eligible cadet forces /corps.

General:

In 2007, the Barbados Cadet Corps held the first version of its International Cadet Challenge Camp. The intent was to create an opportunity for outstanding cadets from the region to get together in a highly focused environment to practice the skills learnt and to display the effectiveness and flexibility of their training.

Teams of cadets from 7 countries participated in that first challenge in a number of various events ranging from public speaking and sports to military and field survival skills. We have been extremely pleased with the results of that first camp.

This year, it is our intention to build on that experience.

For the first time an extra-regional cadet team from Nottinghamshire, England will be participating in the ICCC.
