Minimum Attendance
To ensure consistency and the best experience for all participants, our summer camp requires children to attend a minimum of 3 days per week. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept bookings for fewer days. For example, bookings for only one or two isolated dates—such as 27th July and 1st August—do not meet this requirement and cannot be accommodated unless additional days are added.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else. Cancel more than one week before the start of the programme if you cannot attend so we can offer the place to another family.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
