- Insurance
- Your children, whilst with us, are covered under our Public Liability Insurance. If you require Personal Accident Insurance, it is available through most insurance companies.
- In addition to Public Liability cover the Company can also offer insurance cover at low cost for cancellation and curtailment of the holiday due to illness. This can be particularly useful if your child misses a few days.

- The Adult must declare to the Company in respect of every child whether the child suffers from allergies or any medical condition of any kind or has special or dietary or other needs necessary for the wellbeing of the child.
- Every child who attends camp must be fit, able and in good health. No child with a contagious disease or who has had a contagious disease within 28 days of the commencement of the camp will be accepted.
- If a child has a medical condition (i.e., any condition which at any time has required reporting to a general practitioner or nurse or hospital for a course of treatment or observation) it must be notified to the Company at the time of booking. The Company reserves the right to refuse a child admission to the camp if the child is suffering from a condition which has not been disclosed or if a child is deemed too ill by staff upon arrival or hasn’t been symptom free for at least 24 hours
- The Company reserves the right to exclude or send home any child after the camp has commenced if in the Company’s sole opinion, a child is persistently not adhering to our behaviour policy. Transport home will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian and no refund will be made for the days missed or cost of transport.

- b) each child may receive first aid from time to time if necessary or other medical, dental or hospital treatment or assistance.

- At the time of booking, every Adult will provide a written authority to the Company in respect of each child taking part in the camp that acknowledges that every child will be participating in supervised outdoor activities and that:
