What’s included in the price?

Accommodation, all activities, freshly cooked meals and snacks. You don’t need to pack any food.

What should they pack?

Your Parent’s Pack has a full kit list. Old clothes are perfect, and if rain is forecast please pack waterproofs, wellies and spare layers. Please label everything and leave phones and valuables at home.

Can I book more than one child?
