We had a whole month (March 1956) at a school camp called Dounans in Aberfoyle. Almost all the pupils from Primaries 5, 6 and 7 went, although quite a few went home at the end of the 1st week. We stayed in wooden ex-army huts in metal bunk beds, ate in a huge Dining Hall and had normal lessons in classrooms as well as lots of nature walks and sports. In the evenings we had singalongs, concerts, dances, put on plays and even formed a Skiffle Group.
I absolutely loved it all, except the food which was pretty dire. I thought it was like the boarding schools e.g. the Chalet School in books and comics.
It must have been heavily subsidised as our parents were only asked to pay the equivalent of 4 weeks Child Benefit for each child.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
