• We continue to review government guidance to understand what protective measures are needed to offer a safe experience for children, parents and staff. These are the key adaptations and protective measures we will implement - these are obviously subject to change as lockdown easing progresses. 

• Camp Bookings - bookings for camp will have to be for the full day, either 08:00 to 17:00 or 09:00 to 16:00 so we can keep children in their group/bubble – if you have a booking with us that does not meet this new approach, we will be contacting you via email or phone in the next 2 weeks.

• No financial risk - full credit/refund if we must cancel camps or if anyone in your household tests positive for Covid 19.

• Reduced availability so we can manage groups and ensure there is enough space for all the groups to be socially distanced. Book soon to avoid disappointment.

• Reducing maximum group sizes to 15 for over 8’s, whilst maintaining our group sizes for 6-7 years at 14 which already comply with guidelines. 4-5 years will be in groups of 8

• Modifying existing activities to maximise outdoor space and increase distancing especially in sport and play activities, whilst making camp as fun as possible!

• Removing some activities that present an unacceptable risk of transmission, such as fencing, combat archery and zorbing where children are sharing equipment close to faces (such as helmets and face masks)

• Contactless sign-in and collection – we will send full instructions in due course, but we all know what a 2m distanced queue is like now! 

•  Staggered lunch and breaktimes to keep groups separate.

• Increased hand washing/sanitising for children throughout the day and after each activity/break

• Increased cleaning throughout the day and at the end of every day.

• Symptom awareness and processes for anyone displaying symptoms on camp and isolation area.
