CAMP RULES
1) Parents should search their child’s bag before sending them to camp. With vaping, smoking, tagging / graffiti, and alcohol all strictly forbidden, anyone in the possession of these items will be sent home. Vaping is a growing problem, and we highly recommend you search for these items.
2) We will issue a photo of our dorm rooms on the first day to all parents. Dorm rooms must then be kept tidy by the campers. Last year we had a lot of mess, and that included food waste being crushed in to our carpets. If this is not the case, we will not leave the site to go riding until it is rectified by the campers.
3) Bad language is not suitable for camps. Nor is it suitable to play music with bad language or degrading themes that cover gender or racial topics.
4) Bullying is the hardest for some young people as they don’t always understand that some behavior may effect other young people in way that is hasn’t done previously. With this in mind, please remind your children that we will have campers of all ages and backgrounds, and so they should act suitably when in this type of group setting.
Please explain to your children that campers, who are younger, can get upset or not understand how to interpret comments form older campers. And alternatively, sometimes older campers may want some space from the younger ones. We keep a close eye on this and communicate with parents if we feel there is a need to discuss anything.
We will expect bed times / quiet times to be respected and followed. This is so that those who need sleep / rest can get it properly. Not getting the rest they need can seriously effect a campers experience on camp so we need to make sure those who want a quiet and undisturbed sleep can get it.
The first night is always the hardest as we tend to see our limits tested by some. Negatively interfering with another campers experience will be a major issue in our eyes and again will see campers sent home.
10pm – they head in to their dorm rooms, (having already washed and showered if they want to.)
10.30pm – unwinding, less noise.
11pm – quiet time / bed time. Anyone caught leaving the building will be sent home. Headphones only from this point on.
Spending money is left for the families to decide. We supply breakfast, lunch and dinner, but some money to use at the skate shops, and to buy their own fizzy drinks and snacks with seems pretty common. if they run out, they can borrow from us if you are happy to refund at the end of the week.
We are finding it more and more common that younger generations don’t have breakfast or skip breakfast – meaning they get hungry before lunch. We encourage them to eat, but if they do skip breakfast, the next meal provided by us is at lunch. Please encourage your children to take advantage of breakfast.
Any questions, please get in touch.
