When your child first arrives at our Rootd camp, they’ll be greeted by our friendly Rootd team at the coach park. The camp lead will introduce themselves to both the children and teachers, before walking them to their camp and showing them around. Children will have the opportunity to explore their accommodation and settle in before starting their activities.
What does my child need to pack for the trip?
You can see a full list of what your child needs to pack for the trip here. A packing list will also be sent to your child’s teacher before the trip.
