Hi
  When considering 'How we make decisions at the Camp ' It's probably
worth looking at http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/15 and it's child
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/?q=node/25 

'What to bring and what to leave at home ' is largely covered by
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/19   and
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/18 

For 'What happens at the camp?' http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/node/68 
is worth looking at.

When the webgroup have a meeting on July 5th these pages or pages based
on them will be made more accessible by refining the menu.

In peace Neil
