FAQs
what age are your holidays clubs for?
Children between the age of 9 and 12
will my child be with other children the same age?
We will do our best to ensure children are in groups with other children similar in age.
will my child be supervised at all times?
Yes, their outdoor tutors will be with them at all times except when it is judged appropriate for remote supervision like when they are doing a treasure hunt for example.
Will my child be able to take their mobile phone?
Yes, children are allowed to bring their mobiles phones, although we do not advise that mobile phones are taken out on activity as they can be easily damaged/dropped in water.
Our outdoor tutors all carry mobile phones should they be needed in case of an emergency.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Each day the programme of activities will be looked at and the weather conditions affecting that environment taken in to account. A decision will be made based on the groups’ ability and environmental conditions.
Remmeber, there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing…and we have all the appropriate clothing 🙂
MY CHILD IS A FUSSY EATER / HAS SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
No one leaves the dining room hungry. Our kitchen staff are well accustomed to catering for special diets required by medical concerns, culture, and religion. We request that any concerns over dietary requirements be raised when you make your booking.
For fussy eaters, our experience is that children are more likely to try new things that they wouldn’t normally eat at home. If however, you child will not eat the choices available, we will provide some alternatives to ensure they are properly fuelled up and ready for adventure.
can my child come on specific days only?
You can book your child to come for one day, specific days, or for the full duration of the holiday club – its entirely up to you.
