lighting the fire, a few coals from the previous year are added to the fire, which is then lit in front of the whole body of the camp. Once the fire is burning, campers will review the camp and may suggest changes in activities or emphasis for the following year. Groups People on camp have traditionally been separated into the following groups, although some experimental camps have varied this arrangement: Pixies - Children who are too young to go alone and must be accompanied by a parent or relative Elves - Children between the ages of 6 and a half and 8. Woodlings - Children between the ages of 9 and 11. Trailseekers - Children between the ages of 12 and 13. Trackers - Children between the ages of 14 and 15. Pathfinders - Children between the ages of 16 and 17. Pixie parents- the parent or relative looking after a pixie Waywardens - Adults who require special attention due to disabilities Staff - Adults who care for the children and co-operatively run the whole camp. With the exception of camp chiefs (who are in overall charge of the entire camp) and caterers (responsible for food), staff are split into groups that look after the different age groups. In each group there is also a group chief. Generally FSC age groups are based on school year rather than birthday. As most camps take place before September, this means it is possible to have campers whose ages do not exactly fit with the groupings listed above (e.g. 15-year-old Pathfinders). From 2007, as a trial, the age groups have been amended slightly (to those given above), increasing the age range slightly in the lower groups, and reducing it for the pathfinders, to allow the camps to accommodate slightly more older children without distorting the number in each age group. As a high percentage of children who begin camping with FSC fall in love with camp and want to stay on until their final year, when they participate in a coming of age ceremony, when the pathfinder age group previously encompassed ages 15, 16 and 17, there were always more applications from pathfinders than spaces for them to fill. The change in age groups has compensated for this and now more children are able to continue camping into their final year. Camps Each camp has a different agenda and model, set by tradition
