FAQsWHAT TO WEAR
Name all clothing and belongings. Dress comfortably with clothing appropriate for the weather, that you don’t mind getting dirty. Long trousers prevent scratches and nettle stings. Long sleeves are required for archery. Most activities will continue even in the rain, so bring a coat. We recommend sturdy trainers – no wellies or open toed shoes.
SUN PROTECTION
Apply sun protection before arrival each morning. Children should also carry their own sun lotion and know how to apply this. Staff will remind children at break times to apply sun lotion and support younger participants. Participants should also have a sun hat and thin layer to cover arms and neck.
LUNCH
Please bring a packed lunch and a drink as well as some snacks. We are a nut free setting. A refillable water bottle is all they need bring.
Due to food safety reasons, we are unable to allow any birthday cakes (or any other treats) to be brought in to share with groups.
DON’T BRING!
DO NOT pack valuables such as mobile phones, watches, computer games, ipods, etc. There will be no time or use for these. We cannot accept responsibility if items are damaged, lost or stolen.
TROUBLE SETTLING
Please allow for extra time on the first day, to fill in any paperwork and talk to the camp manager. This also gives extra time for your child to settle in with you there. Some children do have first day worries, but our staff are experienced, and most children are quickly distracted by the activities presented. Having a friend also booked on camp is a great way to ensure they settle quickly, so spread the word!
MEDICAL NEEDS
Please ensure you have informed us of conditions and medicines on the booking form. If there are any changes, please let us know. On the first day our camp manager will check all the details with you at drop-off. Please ensure all medication is clearly labelled in its packaging.
ILLNESS AND ACCIDENTS AT CAMP
All our staff are First Aid qualified. We expect some minor bruises, grazed knees, or stings. However, should a child suffer a more serious injury or fall ill at camp, the Booker will be contacted immediately. All contact information will be checked on the first day at drop-off.
If your child is ill on the morning of camp, please contact us directly. If your child has a high temperature, is vomiting, or has diarrhoea, we cannot take them on camp for 48hrs after the symptoms last present themselves.
PICK-UP
Please arrive by 4pm to collect your child. If you’re likely to be delayed, please call the camp to notify staff. You will be given the Camp Manager’s phone number on the first day.
