On the first day, there is a designated registration area where all children will be greeted. They will be shown an area where they may store their belongings, packed lunches, etc. and they will be given a briefing on how the week will run and other useful information.

Children will usually be grouped according to age and in groups of 10-12. If your child wishes to be in a group with a friend please let us know on the booking form or on the first day of activities.
