Young people should bring a named drink bottle, a waterproof coat, comfortable clothing, and sun protection if needed. Pick-up is at 2PM at the same location. If someone other than the listed emergency contact is collecting the child, parents must notify the camp staff in advance.

There are daily walks in local outdoor spaces, and children will have time for free play in the designated play spaces . Ark-T has a large art room where children will participate in various creative activities each day. The club will have a Spring focus, encouraging creativity in the garden as well. Outdoor play is incorporated into the schedule, though specific sports or games are not detailed. Children will have the opportunity to choose from different activities to suit their interests. The meals provided include snacks and a vegetarian lunch, with drinks available throughout the day, including water and sugar-free squash. All dietary requirements are catered for, ensuring that each child has suitable meal options. The club is designed for children aged 6-11 years, and spaces are limited.
