Between the 10th and 17th July the Squadron had its summer camp at RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria. The camp was solely a 2030 Squadron camp, with 14 cadets and 4 staff. RAF Spadeadam was originally the test site for the Cold War era blue streak rocket, and is now the largest Royal Air Force Station and the only electronic warfare range in Europe. The range consists of fifteen square miles of scenic countryside, with the odd soviet vehicle, and RADAR system placed around as tagets for aircraft to use for training.

During the camp cadets took part in orienteering around a small area of the range, finding markers around the area and the winning teams had the shortest times to complete the course. On Monday the camp went to Hadrians Wall to walk thirteen kilometres along the historic wall, which was the furthest reach of the Roman Empire nearly two thousand years ago. The ground went up and down between ridges which formed part of the defences, with milecastles and larger settlements at larger intervals. The day stayed dry for the walk, with a cold edge when not moving. Later in the evening cadets also went to Carlisle for swimming.

On Tuesday the camp was driven out by Land Rover and Fire Engine to the Fire Section training area on the range. Cadets were shown around the appliance and had all of the onboard kit explained, including the breathing apparatus. The training facility included a small building which was dark, and had two casualties inside, which the cadets must find. The building is set out with furniture to test the cadets awareness in the dark situation and memory of the layout of the building. Cadets were also explained to how the Fire Service remove casualties from vehicles. On Tuesday afternoon the camp was joined by the Regional Commandant, Group Captain Brett Morrell, the cadets had a discussion with the Regional Commandant about various new and upcoming ATC subjects.

Wednesday was taken over by the ACLO team, with a talk about leadership, and some team scenarios to test the leadership of the cadets. Following breakfast in the morning the cadets were on "exercise" with a 24 hour ration pack, which they must cook for themselves. During the afternoon, Combined Cadet Force cadets from RAF Boulmer arrived at Spadeadam to take part in the fieldcraft training and night exercise. The fieldcraft training including judging distances, camouflague and concealment and CBRN. The cadets had to cook their evening boil in the bag meal using hexamine stoves, on the menu were Chicken Tikka Masala, Steak & Vegetable, Lamb Curry, and more. Following the main meal, was pudding which usually consists of a sponge with chocolate, syrup, or custard.  The night exercise which started off with thunder and lightning was a competition between two CCF sections and one ATC section, which involved navigation and evading the enemy. It was deemed to be a draw between all teams involved.

Thursday morning the cadets had a lie in and cooked their own breakfasts, then it was on to see what RAF Spadeadam is all about. The cadets visited the operations centre, German Airforce Equipment Flight, and the targets workshop, where the simulated targets are built to look like the real thing. At the German Airforce Equipment flight the cadets were allowed to sit in the armoured RADAR vehicles, which are used for realistic battle simulation on the ranges.

On Friday the cadets had a drill competition and inspection in front of the Station Warrant Officer, which due to the heavy rain took place inside the target maintenance sections large workshop. The Station Warrant Officer was very impressed by the standard of drill, expecially by the youngest cadets. It was then time to put the uniform away and go to Carlisle for an evening of bowling and a meal at McDonalds.

Saturday was the final day, time to pack up and wait for the coach to bring the following weeks camp, and to take our cadets home. The cadets enjoyed the experience of living on an RAF station for the week, and many have come a long way during the week, especially as regards to looking after their own uniform, and drill standards.
