Each room has bunk beds and you will be sharing with at least one of your classmates or maybe up to nine of your classmates. Teachers will choose who is sharing a room. If you are not with your best friend, there will be plenty of time to see them during your stay.
We know it’s pretty fun staying with your friends but make sure you get lots of sleep so you have the energy to enjoy the activities during the day.
Teachers will be staying in nearby rooms in the same building.

We will share a kit list with your teachers who will then pass it to your parents. The list includes everything you need to bring but below are a couple of top tips-
- Don’t bring valuables such as electronics as you will be far too busy with activities to play with them.
- We also suggest you don’t bring new or expensive clothes as the nature of outdoor activities means you may get a little wet and muddy.
- During your watersports, we recommend you wear an old pair of trainers so if you have a pair on its last legs, save them. You can’t wear flip-flops, sliders or Crocs during watersports as they get lost in the water too easily.
- Don’t forget a large water bottle
