KIDS CAMP:
- Generally, there are 3 age group levels on the kids camps. Children are grouped according to date of birth. If your child wants to be put into a different group, we will try our best to accomodate this but cannot be guaranteed.
- Children on the kids camp will go on a forest adventure day trip, normally on Fridays. During the trip there will be games in the forest, cook out & roasting marshmallows on the camp fire. (For safety reasons, the trip is weather dependent and we may change the day for the trip).
Planning a birthday party or just treating the kids to a fun day out? Why not book them in for a day on our Easter or Summer camp.
