The children can choose what activities they want to do and are encouraged to come up with games and activities using their own imagination and interests.

Kit List

The sessions are 100% outdoors, rain or shine! We have tarpaulins we put up and have some natural shelter however the children must be dressed appropriately so are ready for all weathers! There is no such thing as bad weather... just bad clothing!

The children must wear/bring:

Waterproof trousers and jacket/suit

Wellingtons or waterproof shoes

Packed lunch with a water bottle (we provide snacks and a hot something the children make on the fire, we do not provide lunch)

Complete change of clothes in a small backpack (long sleeved/legs to protect from bites, stings etc and two pairs of socks!)

The best way to keep warm is with lots of layers. We suggest a pair of tights/leggings under trousers and a vest, short sleeved top, long sleeved top, thin jumper, thicker jumper and a waterproof coat! It is better to have to take layers off than not have enough, being cold spoils the fun!

Booking

Book online and ensure you have filled out a registration form for your child.

We have a sibling ticket option available (saving 10%).

Cancellations

In the event of very high winds or stormy weather, the session may need to be cancelled as it is not safe to carry out sessions in such weather. In this event, you will be contacted as soon as possible and will either be refunded or where possible offered an alternative date.

Due to admin, planning and staffing once you have booked a ticket, it is non refundable.
