Thia bootcamp is Sold Out. Please click on the link at the foot of the page for more bootcamp dates…
Please remember the following bootcamp conditions:
Bootcamp payments are, generally speaking, not refundable. Your
money will, of course be refunded in full if we cancel the bootcamp, but
if you pull out, we reserve the right not to return anything. This is
especially true if you pull out close to the date, making it difficult
to fill your place. Please make sure that you are definitely wanting to
come on bootcamp, and please take out holiday insurance (yes, this is a
holiday!) to cover your costs in the event of a change of circumstance.
No language except Welsh is allowed during bootcamp. There is a
time for orientation at the start and an introduction in English, so
that we all start on the same page, but after that you will not speak
English (or any language other than Welsh) until the following Saturday.
Bootcamp is for people who have completed the material in course
1, including the vocab lessons. If you are a non-SSiWer, then please do
lesson 25 (south) or 26 (north), and vocab unit 10, and if you can’t
keep up, then fly through the course to give yourself a chance at
bootcamp.
Bootcamp is one of the most frightening, rewarding, tiring,
exhilirating experiences you will ever take part in. If you throw
yourself in, you will end the week as a Welsh speaker. If you are half
hearted, you will probably not enjoy the experience, and you certainly
won’t get the most out of it. Please be committed!!!
That’s all sounded a bit serious… Bootcamp is a holiday in one
of the most beautiful parts of Wales (and thus, the world). You will
spend a week with lovely people, visiting lovely places, and doing
interesting things. You will have fun, and go home with beautiful
memories that will last you a life time, and firm friendships that will
take your Welsh to a new level. Come on holiday, and go home a Welsh
speaker - how’s that for a bargain?!!!
Let us know below when you book, and if you have any questions.
I’m really sorry, I desperately want to go to this but unfortunately my brother is getting married on the final weekend and I’m meant to be a part of the wedding (I think it’d give my brother heart attack if I was driving from West Wales to Surrey the day before). I have cancelled the booking, could you please confirm this? I’m so sorry to be a pain, I will book on the soonest bootcamp I can attend.
I have just jumped right in and booked myself a place on April Bootcamp!..I have been learning since August Bank Holiday 15 and have covered Course 1 and half way through Vocab Units. Am now addicted to S4C - Pobol y Cwm and anything else I can reasonably understand [with subtitles] Really looking forward to meeting everyone.
I am very interesting in doing the Boot Camp. I have been learning Welsh for 2 years now and feel that this would be a great next step. My only problem is that I have commitments in Cardiff on the Tuesday (26th). Would it be possible to leave Tuesday morning and return Tuesday evening, or possible Wednesday morning?
No need to look for accomodation - the ganolfan in Tresaith has 40 beds, in two rooms (rooms are subdivided as well, so it;s not a military barracks style dorm!), so there’s plenty of room for everyone.
Thanks for reminding me - we have some bootcamp information sheets that I shall add to the booking pages.
All booked in for April. Where can I find these info. sheets please as I’ve no idea what I need to bring with me apart from all the Welsh I can muster.
Shwmae Iestyn,
I’m not sure if I was clear about when I will go for the Bootcamp. I would like to book for the end of July 23-30. That’s when my son in law has long service leave. Thank you,
Lynne
We are looking for accommodation too. Might stay in dormitory to get the fun and extra chat, but might go for a holiday cottage, don’t know yet. If we got one big enough, would you be up for sharing? I can see 2 and 3 -bedroom places available. But we haven’t decided yet. There are 2 of us.
Dormitory sounds fine, appreciate the fun of it and extra chat etc. Judith is more edgy about it and might want her own space, mainly for sleeping. If we wanted a cottage or room of some kind, there are 2 or 3 associated with the Canolfan/Hostel aren’t there? Could we have one of those? For a price obviously! The closer to the action, the better. Can book and pay immediately if there’s something suitable.
If we do end up in a cottage and it’s not one of the ones you control, it will be a commercial holiday rental and could have space extra bedroom/s for other guests. But whatever, we don’t know yet. What have you got there?
Instead of “edit” you press delete however the post itself even if edited out or deleted reamins here for ages no matter it says it will go off in 24 hours. So you just did one of the right things though.

Sorry to go offtopic but just had to explain this no matter it was already detaily explained here. You might find plenty of usefu stuff on how to on this forum @lynne_freudigmann searching through this post also.
Now I’ll let you go back on topic.

Having a slight worry that I might have signed up for the wrong course. I am following the Northern course as although I live in London my family are from North Wales.
