FAQ's

How to find us:
We are situated behind the row of houses and will meet all participants at the end of the drive. The postcode can take you too far (or not far enough depending on which end you enter Moss Lane), so please call 07854 715308 if your struggling. If you are familiar with the what3word app, ours words are: teach.examine.detective.

Times:
The days operate between 10am - 2pm

What if someone doesn't want to do a specific activity:
All activities are optional and if someone doesn't wish to take part in their group activity, they will have the option not to take part and wait to move on to the next activity

Groups:
Once children are put in their designated groups, they will be expected to stay in that group for the day. If someone is struggling in their group, we ask that they speak to one of the well-being coaches who will try and resolve any issues.

Clothing
Although we have lots of undercover areas, we advise children to come appropriately dressed, in warm clothing and suitable footwear.

Cancellation policy

No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
