🏕️ The JCB Academy & Denstone College CCF – Cadet Summer Camp 2026 🏕️
What an incredible week it has been for our cadets!
From Saturday 4 July to Thursday 10 July, our JCB Academy and Denstone College Combined Cadet Force (CCF) cadets deployed on their annual Cadet Summer Camp, where they embraced a challenging and rewarding programme of military training, leadership and adventure.
Throughout the week, cadets took part in a wide range of activities including:
🎯 Live Firing
🧗 Adventure Training
🪖 Military Skills
🏃 The Gun Run
🩹 Regional Competition Stands, including:
• First Aid
• Marksmanship
• Observation Skills
• Patrolling
• The Gun Run
Despite the exceptionally high temperatures and demanding conditions, every one of our cadets demonstrated outstanding resilience, determination and teamwork. They consistently upheld the Values and Standards of the British Army, representing both The JCB Academy and Denstone College with professionalism and pride.
We are incredibly proud to announce that our contingent finished the week as the Top Cadet Unit in the Region, as well as taking 1st Place in the prestigious Gun Run Competition—an outstanding achievement that reflects the commitment, enthusiasm and hard work of every cadet and instructor.
These achievements are a testament to the dedication shown throughout the year and provide a fitting end to another fantastic CCF training programme.
A huge congratulations to all of our cadets and instructors. You should all be immensely proud of what you have accomplished.
One Team. One Fight. One Success.

🌍World Challenge Expedition - Namibia Update🌍
Yesterday the team had a fantastic trek to the Bushman Cave Paintings. The landscapes were stunning!
After the hike, attention turned to football as The JCB Academy took on the Spitzkoppe Spitfires in a friendly fixture. The game was played in great spirit, with both teams enjoying the occasion and sharing plenty of laughs.
Unfortunately for JCB, the local side proved far too strong on their home turf, with the Spitfires running out convincing 5-0 winners!
The JCB players were quick to point out that they’re not quite used to the playing surface... and they're sticking to that excuse! ⚽😂
A brilliant day of adventure, sport, and cultural experiences. ... See MoreSee Less
