Organisation of children Aim of the camp is to integrate the two locations and departments. Children are in rooms with friends from own class (rooms sleep between 4-8 children). Children are in teams (mixed NA/ID/locations) throughout camp. Most rooms are inside the house, some huts apart. Male staff outside, female staff inside.
What to bring: Camp list has a detailed breakdown of what to bring. Insect repellent and sun cream (if weather is good) is essential. Torch with working batteries is useful. Lunch for the first day. A suitcase/holdall that your child can carry! DVD for the bus journey (optional) Medicines if needed.
What not to bring! Too much- children have to be able to carry all their own luggage. Electronic games Mobile phones Money Camp knives/tools
