Polices for your consideration before booking:
Our policy for camps with children under 6 is that every
parent has the option to stay if they think their child would prefer it. 5/6
year olds that are in primary school and are used to being left can be dropped
off and collected, younger ones under 3 must be accompanied by a parent.
Preference is given to those who want to book for the full
camp sessions, if you want to book 1 or 2 days I will have to check numbers the
week before and get back to you.
As the Forest School is an
outdoor ‘classroom’ wind can be a dangerous element due to potential falling
branches. Our Weather Policy states: 'if strong winds (measuring over 5 on
the Beaufort scale or above 30-38kph) or thunder and lightening, the session
will not take place in the woodland other options will be considered'. During
high winds at the children will be taken to the poly tunnel area (refer
to Cancellation policy below).
Below are the Application
Form, Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy. Payment is required to secure place.
Please bring packed lunch/snack with hot drinks and wellies and water proofs (water proof trousers
available if required ages 3-8) come geared up for all weathers as we will be
there no matter come rain or shine!
