Clothing

 Copies of suggested clothing are on their website and

copies will be sent home with the final letter next week.

 The best advice I can give is to pack lots of warm, old

and preferably waterproof clothing.

 Strong, comfortable and old shoes (x 2 pairs).  Disco – one outfit for the disco and a few hangers are

useful.

 Please label all items of clothing with marker.  Black bag for dirty, wet clothes is essential.

Packing

 Useful for child to pack with you!  Deodorants – roll on only! Aerosols can set off the fire

alarm.

 Stamps – in past years some children have bought a

post card, from the gift shop, to send home!

Pocket Money

 There is a small gift shop on camp selling gifts and

some sweets etc.

 The children will have to chance to go once a day if

they wish to buy any souvenirs or refreshments.

 Maximum pocket money of £ 10 for the week.  Please hand in the money before the day of departure,

clearly labelled (zip lock bags are useful)

 Staff will keep pocket money and will give out daily.  It’s useful to have some in change.

Medicine

 Please ensure if your child requires any medication

that you have told us about it beforehand by returning the medication form to Mr Devaney.

 Place medicine in a plastic bag, clearly labelled with

child’s name, dosage and any instructions we require and hand it to a member of staff on the day of departure.

 Inhalers -can stay with the child. Please make sure

there are full for the week ahead.

school blog when we return to school.
