Yes, you should be able to receive calls, messages and emails, although reception can be limited in some areas of the camp. We highly recommend bringing a portable phone charger to keep your battery topped up.
Do we need to bring any bedding for the adult accommodation?
Yes, you will need to bring bedding for the teacher accommodation. In the teacher tents and pods, you’ll be provided with a camp bed with a fitted sheet. We recommend bringing a warm sleeping bag and pillow, and you may wish to bring an additional blanket for your warmth and comfort.
Do you carry out a risk assessment?
Yes, a thorough risk assessment will be carried out, and a copy of our risk assessment will be emailed to you well in advance of your trip.
Can children bring their own food?
Other than their packed lunch for the first day, we ask that children don’t bring food, as all meals for the duration of their trip will be provided. We have some very persistent squirrels who will quite quickly hunt out snacks in tents, so to avoid any issues we have a ‘no food in tents’ policy.
When will we receive the activity programme?
Your activity programme will be shared with you 6-8 weeks prior to your trip, once the payment balance has been received.
Should we arrange groups for the accommodation before we arrive?
Yes, please arrange your children into groups for the accommodation before your trip to enable a smooth settling-in process on arrival.
How can we inform you of any dietary requirements?
You can inform us of any dietary requirements by completing the group medical and dietary requirement form, which will be emailed to you 12 weeks prior to the trip. Please ensure this is completed and returned to us at least 6 weeks before your arrival date so we can make all the necessary arrangements.
Do we need to bring a first aid kit?
Yes, it’s essential that you bring a first aid kit with appropriate contents for the outdoor setting. Please ensure any member of your party requiring medication, including asthma inhalers, brings it with them. Teachers will be responsible for arranging and administering any medication required. We also ask that you appoint a first aid trained teacher or staff member to respond …
Should we bring anything extra for the children?
Yes, it helps to bring a few spare items. Although every child should have the compulsory items from the kit list, we’d advise you to bring some spare water bottles, some additional clothes/layers from lost property and at least one spare bedding set or sleeping bag.
Is it possible to reserve a trip over a year in advance?
Yes, you can reserve a trip over one year in advance by paying a £750 holding fee. This will then be deducted from your first deposit, which is due 9 months before your trip.
