KIT LIST
BEING CORRECTLY EQUIPPED FOR ACTIVITIES IS ESSENTIAL, NOT ONLY FOR SAFETY BUT ALSO FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A FEW CHANGES OF WARM CLOTHING, ENOUGH TO CHANGE EVERY DAY. BRING CLOTHES THAT YOU DO NOT MIND GETTING WET AND MUDDY. AT LEAST 3 OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE WATER-BASED AND YOU WILL GET WET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE DRYING ROOMS, CLOTHES STILL TAKE A WHILE TO DRY SO IT IS BETTER TO HAVE DRY ONES WITH YOU RATHER THAN RELYING ON DRYING THEM OUT. IT IS OFTEN A GOOD IDEA TO WEAR A SWIMMING COSTUME/ SWIM SHORTS UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES. LAST YEAR WAS VERY WARM WHEN WE WERE THERE AND THE PUPILS WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SWIM IN THE LAKE AFTER ACTIVITIES HAD FINISHED (SUPERVISED BY STAFF AT ALL TIMES)
