Clothes should be warm and comfortable and suitable for getting muddy – Please see suggested list provided.
Health and Safety
No snacks should be taken as this increases the likelihood that children may consider a ‘midnight feast’ and would share foods without allergy awareness
No aerosol sprays – this causes problems with the fire alarm system which is highly sensitive
Bedding is provided ! So no need for sleeping bags etc.
All belongings need to be in one holdall or suitcase with all items named.
