Maker Camp


Fathers and sons are bonding over building

Local scouts and cubs are on a fathers and sons' weekend at Maker Camp. Cold showers, tinned food and constructing more than just wooden structures as this father-son team building gets underway in the well-known location at Maker.

Maker or Magor in Cornish meaning ruin is a village set near Rame Head on the Rame Peninsula. After 1066 and the Battle of Hastings, the Normans installed the Valletorts as tenants of most of the lands around the River Tamar. Maker passed to the Durnfords and then to the Edgcumbes.
