Dear Parents,
Below is a useful check list of items for camp. It is a good idea to let your child pack their own bag once you have laid out the items together so they know what is in it. Try to pack each days clothes in a separate plastic bag, then if they happen to put something wet in the bag everything else doesn’t get wet. Have a separate bag for jumper and long trousers. Please feel free to add to the list if necessary. Even though we are going in summer, the evenings can get cold. Any questions don’t hesitate to ring me.

Please Do Not Visit Site Unless Prior Arrangement Has Been Made as this can often upset a child who has been fine.
Please do not ask parents on camp to keep you informed on your child, it is unfair on them and they may inadvertently give out a negative message through misinterpreting how a cub handles life on camp. Call me if concerned.
I will always contact a parent if a serious problem arose or if a cub continued to be unhappy.
All Parents on camp have been Police Checked
