We do our best to accommodate friend requests made prior to arriving on camp, making every effort to group friends together. However, there are rare occasions where camp numbers, child safety and ratios mean that this is not possible. Many children attending our camps do not know one another and will be encouraged to make new friends.

We strive for the following coach:child ratios

  • 1:8 for children aged 5-7
  • 1:12 for children aged 8-10
  • 1:15 for children aged 11+

On camp we have a first aid qualified staff member who is trained to deal with accidents and illnesses. Should your child suffer a serious injury or illness you will be contacted immediately. All accidents are reported using our Proactive health and safety management platform, which allows staff to report all incidents to head office. Please ensure you make us aware of any medical conditions or relevant medication prior to camp.
