TAKE THE CHALLENGE, BE AT YOUR BEST

Residential

If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements please communicate these to us during the booking process. We pass this information on to the school so that everyone is catered for during each buffet meal.

Outdoor activities will run as long as it is considered safe to do so and would only be moved indoors due to severe weather such as lightening, high winds or snow. Where possible alternatives will be organised subject to availability. If poor weather such as rain is forecast during your child’s stay, we recommend that you pack additional clothing and footwear so wet items can be changed between activities.

This is the perfect time for all the children to relax and unwind and get a good night's rest after a busy day of activities. Our pastoral staff will monitor all dorms to make sure all children are getting the sleep needed.

At Activate, we fully appreciate and understand that being away from home can be a daunting experience, so we make sure that every child is welcomed to a positive and friendly environment. 

If a child if feeling homesick we will always encourage them to speak to their parents about how they feel, and we will always keep an eye on for the duration of their stay. If we feel there is no improvement, we will contact the parent/guardian who may need to collect their child.

We will send a full residential packing list after you receive your booking confirmation. If you have any questions prior to booking, please contact our customer support team on 0121 227 4385.

We will have a tuck shop during the residential as well as a sale for official camp merchandise, children are welcome to bring money for both of these however it is not essential.

All lost property found on site will be shown to the children daily, and displayed at sign out on the final day of their stay to ensure any belongings are reunited with their owners. After this, any remaining lost property will be taken to head office and held for 2 months before being donated to a charity of our choice.

Unfortunately, we do not allow parent/guardian visits.

There are no laundry facilities for children to use at the school. As the camp is 3 nights in duration, we encourage parents to send 3 sets of day clothing. They will also need additional clothing for evening activities. You will need to send your child with a towel, however, bedding and a pillow is provided.

If in the unfortunate event your child becomes ill during camp, we will notify the parent/guardian immediately. We will have first aid supplies and a qualified first aider available 24 hours a day.
