User:Grosnie/Northern Pentecostal Camp

The Northern Pentecost camp (Noordelijk PinksterKamp) (usually abbreviated to NPK) is the largest annually recurring scouting camp in the Netherlands and the largest in Europe.

In 2008, the camp was held for the 78th time with 3516 participants, from approximately 75 scouting groups from Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe, North Holland, and Overijssel. Previously, the NPK was held in the Kniphorstbos in Anloo, but this site was sold by the Ministry of Defense to Staatsbosbeheer in 1997. Partly because of the many burial mounds in the area, Staatsbosbeheer did not give permission to continue the annual camp in the Kniphorstbos. In consultation with the Ministry of Defense, Marnewaard in the Lauwersmeer area was chosen as the permanent location for the camp in 1998.
